Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian-Serb general who is facing war crimes charges at the Hague, had his trial suspended indefinitely on Thursday. The presiding judge, Alphons Orie, postponed the trial because of “significant” errors made by the prosecution in disclosing evidence to Mladic’s defence team, the New York Times reports.
