Mladic may face Monday extradition

Ratko Mladic could be on his way to face a war-crimes tribunal in The Hague as early as Monday, possibly joining his former ally Radovan Karadzic on trial for some of the worst horrors of the Balkan wars.

The ex-Bosnian Serb army commander known for his cruelty and arrogance began issuing demands from behind bars yesterday, eating strawberries, calling for a TV set and Tolstoy novels, and regaining some of his trademark hubris after the pre-dawn raid in a Serbian village the day before that ended his 16 years on the run.
