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.
