On Monday November 10, 2008; Serbian security forces raided a factory in the Serbian town of Valjevo, where sources claimed information about the whereabouts of Gen. Mladic could be found. The raid, and the search that followed, produced little results. However, spokesmen for the Serbian government and security forces gave assurances that they are earnestly on the hunt for Gen. Mladic. A source in the prosecutor's office told Reuters news agency “It is a part of an overall action to locate Ratko Mladic and those who had been providing financial support for his hiding”.
Wartime Commander
Gen. Mladic was the military commander of the Bosnian Serb forces that were responsible for many of the atrocities and war crimes committed during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war; including a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Bosnian Muslim community. In 1995 Gen. Mladic was indicted by the UN sponsored International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The court charged that he authored the 1995 massacre of about 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men in Srebrenica, and lead the armed siege of the city of Sarajevo.
