THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Serbian government jet carrying Bosnian Serb military wartime commander Ratko Mladic has landed in the Netherlands, where he will be tried by a U.N. court for genocide.

The plane touched down at Rotterdam airport hours after judges in Belgrade rejected his appeal to delay his extradition on grounds of ill health, and the Serbian justice minister authorized his handover to U.N. officials in The Hague.
