> Convicted genocidaire Ratko Mladić has died aged 84 in a UN prison in The Hague, where he was serving a life sentence. He was convicted over the siege of Sarajevo and the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed. Plans for a state-honours burial have sharply divided Serbia.
