Scenes from an arrest (or two)

The big news  of course is the arrest of Ratko Mladic  on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war. The Lede takes a look back at the general-cum-war-criminal’s life and crimes captured on video. With the arrest of Mladic, Europe’s most wanted war criminal is now Goran Hadzic.  A raid on a friend’s house this past fall did not uncover Hadzic’s whereabouts, but it did uncover a 1.3 million dollar art collection, allegedly used to help fund Hadzic’s life on the run. Meanwhile in the Democratic Republic of the Congo another indicted genocidaire, former Hutu militia leader Bernard Munyagishari, was arrested on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity in connection to the 1994 Rwandan genocide. With the death of bin Laden and the arrests of Mladic and Munyagishari who is the world’s most wanted fugitive? While that dubious honor has many contenders for the title, certainly chief among them is Joseph Kony.
