THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Prosecutors called on Wednesday for Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general accused of war crimes including the 1995 genocide of thousands of Muslims in the town of Srebrenica, to be sentenced to life in prison.
Mladic, 74, is charged with two counts of genocide related to the war to carve an ethnically pure Serb state out of multi ethnic Bosnia, alongside Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic, sentenced in March to 40 years' prison. Mladic denies the charges.
