War criminal Mladić dies in prison after Serbia's release plea denied

Ratko Mladić, a Bosnian Serb military leader convicted of genocide — the deliberate killing of a specific group — for the 1995 massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys at Srebrenica, died in prison at 84. Serbia had asked for his release, saying he was dying. The UN said his medical care was adequate. He died serving a life sentence.
