Ratko Mladic, ex-Bosnian Serb warlord who oversaw atrocities in Bosnia, has died at 84

Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military leader responsible for some of the most horrific atrocities during the Bosnian War in the 1990s, has died at the age of 84. Mladic was convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. His notorious command to "scorch the brains" of Bosnian Muslims underscored the brutality of the conflict, which resulted in over 100,000 deaths. His death marks the end of an era for those who endured the horrors of the Bosnian War, though his legacy of violence and impunity remains a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked aggression.
