Mladic taken to hospital from trial

Former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic has been taken to hospital after complaining of feeling unwell at his genocide trial.

Former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic has been taken to hospital after complaining of feeling unwell at his genocide trial.

Mladic was checked by a nurse at the tribunal after feeling ill and then sent to hospital “as a precautionary measure,” said Nerma Jelacic the spokeswoman for the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal.

His trial at The Hague on 11 charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity was adjourned for the day.

The first witnesses began testifying this week against the 70-year-old former general, who denies wrongdoing.

Mladic has previously complained of ill health and suffered two strokes during his years as a fugitive but has looked healthy and alert in court this week.
