Caught at last

摘要

STANDING on the hills above Sarajevo at the start of the three-year siege of the Bosnian capital in 1992, Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb military commander, was infamously heard to demand that his men "burn" the citizens of the city below. The Bosnian war was brutal and cruel, and Mr Mladic was the most brutal and cruel of all its masterminds. On May 26th the Serbian authorities said he had been arrested.
