Mladic refuses to testify for Karadzic at ICTY trial

Ex-Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic refused on the 28 January 2014 to testify after former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic called him as a defence witness at his war crimes trial at The Hague.

Denouncing the UN tribunal as 'satanic', Mr Mladic said testifying could prejudice his own case.
