Man believed to be Mladic arrested in Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) -- A man believed to be Gen. Ratko Mladic, Europe's most wanted war crimes fugitive, has been arrested in Serbia, news media reported Thursday.

Serbia state TV said a man who identified himself as Milorad Komadic when he was arrested Thursday is the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander. It gave no other details.

The European Union said it has "all reasons to believe" that Mladic has been arrested, but EU Commission spokeswoman Natasha Butler said the bloc was still awaiting confirmation.

Croatian media, which first broke the story, said police there got confirmation from their Serbian colleagues that DNA analysis confirmed Mladic's identity.
