A man who identified himself as Milorad Komadic when he was arrested Thursday is the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander.
The director of communications for the government of President Boris Tadic confirmed to CBS News’ Natasha Popovic in Belgrade that the man arrested was Mladic.
About an hour later, Tadic appeared on national television to confirm the arrest to the wider world.
“On behalf of the Republic of Serbia we announce that Ratko Mladic has been arrested,” Tadic told reporters. He said the arrest was made by the Serbian Security Intelligence Agency.
Mladic will be extradited to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, he said. He did not specify when, but said “an extradition process is under way.”
