Former Bosnian Serb military chief General Ratko Mladic has told a United Nations war crimes court he is “a gravely ill man” and refused to enter pleas to “obnoxious charges” alleging he orchestrated the worst atrocities of a war that claimed 100,000 lives.

A GROUP of 10 people accused of helping Europe’s most wanted fugitive Ratko Mladic evade justice, were cleared by a Serbian court yesterday.
