   Former Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic removes his hat in the court room
   during his initial appearance at the U.N.'s Yugoslav war crimes
   tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, June 3, 2011.

   Former Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic has been hospitalized with
   what doctors suspect is pneumonia. His lawyer made the announcement
   Tuesday.
   Mladic is on trial for genocide and war crimes in the 1992-'95 war in
   Bosnia. He has been accused of crimes against humanity, including
   planning the death of 8,000 Muslim men and boys over a 6-day period in
   1995.
   Authorities located Mladic in May after his being on the run for 16
   year.
   A spokeswoman for the International Criminal tribunal says Mladic was
   transferred to their custody with a series of pre-existing health
   conditions.
