THE HAGUE (Reuters) - U.N. prosecutors told judges Monday that two former Serbian security officials who served under Slobodan Milosevic helped train and equip ethnic Serbs to conduct brutal ethnic cleansing campaigns against non-Serbs in the 1990s Yugoslav conflict.

The re-trial of Jovica Stanisic, former head of Serbia's state security service, and his subordinate Franko "Frenki" Simatovic is the last major case at the U.N. war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
