Mladic illness delays trial again

Ratko Mladic's genocide trial was halted for the second day running because the former Bosnian Serb military commander was still undergoing medical tests after being rushed to hospital yesterday.

Mladic's seat in the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal courtroom in The Hague was empty as the trial briefly resumed and Presiding Judge Alphons Orie said Mladic was still undergoing a test that required him to be under observation for 24 hours.
