Alleged Mladic aide held in Serbia

Another alleged ally of top UN war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic has been detained on suspicion of helping the general to evade arrest, a lawyer said today.

Ratko Vucetic, a retired Bosnian Serb officer, was detained on Saturday, apparently as part of government efforts to hunt down Mladic by an end-of-April European Union deadline, said Vucetic’s lawyer Branko Butolen.
