4B Daily News – Friday, May 27, 2011 WORLD BRIEFING Europe’s most- wanted faces genocide charges BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Sixteen years after the bull- necked military commander went on the run, a pale and shrunken Ratko Mladic was hauled into a courtroom Thurs- day to face charges of genocide in ordering torture, rape and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. A Serbian government that has changed mightily since Mladic’s alleged atrocities trum- peted his early morning arrest as a victory for a country worthy of EU membership and Western embrace. It banned all public gatherings and raised security levels to prevent ultra-national- ists from making good on pledges to pour into the streets in protest. Riot police broke up one small protest. Mladic was one of the world’s most wanted men, and faces charges of genocide and war crimes at the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, where judge Fouad Riad said there was evidence of ‘‘unimaginable savagery.’’ ‘‘Thousands of men executed and buried in mass graves, hun- dreds of men buried alive, men and women mutilated and slaughtered, children killed before their mothers’ eyes, a grandfather forced to eat the liver of his own grandson,’’ Riad said during Mladic’s 1995 indictment in absentia. Mladic, 69, appeared frail and walked very slowly Thurs- day evening as he went into a closed-door extradition hearing. He wore a navy-blue jacket and a baseball hat with gray hair sticking out the sides, and car- ried what appeared to be a towel in his left hand. He could be heard on state TV saying ‘‘good day’’ to someone in the court, and a guard told him, ‘‘Let’s go, general.’’ After officials release names of missing in Joplin JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — As emergency workers in Joplin searched Thursday for more than 230 people listed as miss- ing after a tornado tore through the city, one was sitting on a wooden chair outside the wreckage of her home, cuddling her cat. Sally Adams, 75, said neigh- bors rescued her Sunday after the storm destroyed her house and took her to a friend’s home. When The Associated Press told her she was on the missing list, Adams laughed and said ‘‘Get me off of there!’’ Missouri officials had said they believed many of the miss- ing were alive and safe but sim- ply hadn’t been in touch with friends and family, in part because cell phone service has been spotty. The AP found that was the case with at least a dozen of the 232 still unac- counted for Thursday. They included two survivors staying at a hotel, six that a relative said were staying with friends and one that a former employee said had been moved from his nurs- ing home. Adams said she lost her cell phone in the storm and had no way of contacting her family to let them know she was OK. She was placed on the missing list after relatives called a hot line and posted Facebook messages saying she was missing. Palin signals she’s considering run for White House JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Sarah Palin will embark this weekend on a campaign-style bus tour along the East Coast, sending a jolt through the now-sleepy Republican presi- dential contest and thrusting a Many Republican Party insiders say that Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nomi- nee, has engaged in too many political spats and soap-opera dramas to win the nomination and challenge President Barack Obama 18 months from now. House passes defense bill WASHINGTON (AP) — War-weary Republicans and Democrats on Thursday sent the strongest message yet to President Barack Obama to end the war in Afghanistan as the commander in chief decides how many U.S. troops to withdraw this sum- mer. telegenic but divisive politi- cian back into the nation’s spotlight. Palin’s tour announcement is the strongest signal yet that she is considering a presiden- tial bid, despite her failure to take traditional steps such as organizing a campaign team in early primary states. The former Alaska governor’s approval ratings have fallen across the board — including among Republicans — in recent months. But many con- servatives adore her, and she has enough name recognition and charisma to shake up a GOP contest that at this point seems to be focusing on three male former governors. Beginning Sunday, Palin plans to meet with veterans and visit historic sites that her political action committee calls key to the country’s for- mation, survival and growth. The tour follows reports that Palin has bought a house in Arizona and the disclosure that she’s authorized a fea- ture-length film about her career, which could serve as a campaign centerpiece. She recently said she has ‘‘that fire in the belly’’ for a presi- dential bid. Palin said on the website for SarahPAC that the nation is at a ‘‘critical turning point,’’ and that her bus tour will serve as a reminder of ‘‘who we are and what Amer- icans stand for.’’ A measure requiring an accelerated timetable for pulling out the 100,000 troops from Afghanistan and an exit strategy for the nearly 10-year-old conflict secured 204 votes in the House, falling just short of passage but boosting the hopes of its surprised proponents. ‘‘It sends a strong signal to the president that the U.S. House of Representatives and the American people want change,’’ Rep. Jim McGov- ern, D-Mass., said shortly after the vote. Obama will begin drawing down some of the troops in July, with all combat forces due out by 2014. McGovern and others fear that the initial reduction will be a token cut of some 5,000, numbers they argue fail to reflect that Osama bin Laden is gone and the United States can’t afford spending $10 billion a month on the war. An Associated Press-GfK poll earlier this month found 59 percent oppose the war and 37 percent favor it, with significant support for Obama’s plan to start remov- ing troops this summer.
