In this July 14, 1995 photo, refugee Ferida Osmanovic from Srebrenica is found hanged in a forest outside the U.N. base at Tuzla airport. The woman who looked to be in her early 20s. had hanged herself with a torn blanket. More than 10,000 refugees from the U.N. safe haven of Srebrenica, captured by the Bosian Serbs, arrived in Tuzla. Bosnia Serb commander Gen. Ratko Mladic announced that approximately 40,000 residents had been cleared from their homes in Srebrenica. Mladic, Europe's most wanted war crimes fugitive, has been arrested in Serbia, the country's president said Thursday, May 26, 2011. Mladic has been on the run since 1995 when he was indicted by the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, for genocide in the slaughter of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica and other crimes committed by his troops during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.
