Ratko Mladic arrested: Bosnia war crimes suspect held

Ratko Mladic, wanted by UN prosecutors for war crimes during the Bosnian civil war, has been arrested in Serbia after a decade in hiding.

Serbian President Boris Tadic confirmed the arrest of the former Bosnian Serb army chief at a news conference.

Gen Mladic is accused of a key role in the massacre of at least 7,500 men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995.
He was the most prominent Bosnian war crimes suspect at large since the arrest of Radovan Karadzic in 2008.
President Tadic said work was under way to extradite Gen Mladic to the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

The detention, he said, had closed one chapter in Serbian history, bringing the country and the region closer to reconciliation.
It had also opened the doors to membership of the European Union, he added.
Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen hailed the arrest, saying it finally offered "a chance for justice to be
done".

Assumed name
Gen Mladic was said by Serbian media to have been arrested in Vojvodina, a northern province of Serbia, in the early hours of Thursday morning.
President Tadic would only confirm he had been arrested "on Serbian soil".
He was reportedly using the assumed name Milorad Komodic.
Gen Mladic was indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague in 1995 for genocide over the killings that July at Srebrenica - the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II - and other crimes.
Having lived freely in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, he disappeared after the arrest of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in 2001.
Speculation mounted that Gen Mladic would soon be arrested when Mr Karadzic was captured in Belgrade in July 2008.

Just before news of Thursday's arrest, UN war crimes chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz accused Serbia of failing to do enough to find Gen Mladic.
"The capture is the biggest obligation of Serbia," he said in a report sent to the UN Security Council.
"Until now efforts by Serbia to detain fugitives have not been sufficient."

Juan Rodriguez Is The Obama Streaker

Back in August, British billionaire Alki David offered $1 million in cash to the first person who streaked in front of Obama with his website name written on his chest while shouting "Battlecam.com" six times. This offer was supposed to be a publicity stunt because no one would be stupid enough to do it, right? Well, Juan Rodriguez, 24, Staten Island man was arrested on Sunday for pulling off the stunt. Juan said his family really needed the money. Now Alki David is backing away slowly with his money. Alki says he has yet to confirm it. NYDailyNews report:

"It's still not confirmed," David, 42, told the Daily News on Monday. "Whether he was in earshot and eyesight of the President is what's being debated right now."

He said it was not clear if Obama even noticed Rodriguez dashing through the massive outdoor crowd in his birthday suit with the name of David's website, Battlecam.com, written on his chest.

In August, David promised $1 million cash to the first person who streaked in front of Obama with the website printed on his body and while shouting "Battlecam.com" six times.

"Apparently, there is a law in Pennsylvania where someone isn't able to profit from an illegal act," said David, citing another likely obstacle to Rodriguez collecting the jackpot.

In a video of the stunt David allowed The News to view, Rodriguez is seen in the buff, standing in the crowd about 20 yards in front and to the left of the podium where Obama was speaking.

The camera pans to Rodriguez, who has the website clearly printed on his chest. He shouts "Battlecam.com!" and takes off.

Obama is heard off-camera pointing out dignitaries in the crowd but never mentions the naked man.

The video shows two men in the crowd pinning Rodriguez to the ground.

Rodriguez was arraigned last night on charges of indecent exposure, public lewdness and disorderly conduct. He was released on a $10,000 bond.

He told reporters that his family needed the money and he believed he had done everything required to win it - and nothing inappropriate. "It's just the human body," he said.

Juan Rodriguez says he's still an Obama supporter. His motivation for participating in the gag was purely financial. But doesn't that kind of make the president look kinda bad by underscoring the whole economic crisis? Anyway, there is also a Pennsylvania law that says a person can't profit from an illegal act, a law Juan hopes to use. But Tasha Jamerson, spokesman for the DA Seth Williams, says the Son of Sam statute only applies to murder cases. And then there is the possible $1 million fine the judge might give Juan. Looks like the real winner here is Philadelphia because they really need that million dollar in Philadelphia. And another thing's for sure, it didn't make Juan look too good. Get a load of this poor lady trying not to get a load of his package. Click on pictures to enlarge.
