> Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general known as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” has died at 84 in a hospital in The Hague, U.N. court officials said. He had been held since 2011 after years on the run for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia and was sentenced to life in prison in 2017. His forces were responsible for atrocities including the 1995 slaughter of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica.
