Mladic ‘gave up ally’ to save himself

GENERAL Ratko Mladic, now the Hague’s other most wanted man, gave up information leading to the capture and arrest of ally Radovan Karadzic, it was reported yesterday.

Mladic, Karadzic’s military commander, is one of two Balkans war crimes suspects still on the run.

With international pressure on Serbia to secure his arrest, the Daily Telegraph website reported that Mladic has long been in negotiations with those hunting him over the terms of his capture and that he fed vital information that led to the arrest of Karadzic on Monday. The website reported that Mladic “gave information [on Karadzic’s whereabouts] to save himself”.
