"Serbian police sources are saying that this was a pre dawn routine raid of the place and that they did not expect to bump into Mladic, they literally did apparently, that is what the sources say. They were going into this tiny village without trying to search the four houses that were occupied by Mladic's relatives. That was the reason they went in, the sources are saying. So they went in with four jeeps, white jeeps, packed with about a dozen policemen, the black-clad special policemen wearing masks on their heads and they managed to burst into the house and, as Mladic was about to leave the place and take a walk in the garden at 5 in the morning."

"There was no resistance, it was a shocking experience for Mladic apparently. He was pushed down to the ground and immediately he was asked to identify himself, and he said "I am Ratko Mladic".

"He was in a quite poor state. The pictures that were shown today show him as a much older man than he was the last time he was seen in the public and that was sometime in 2002."
11. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dusan Stojanovic, AP correspondent:
"It was the question that everybody is asking and now the explanation is that they simply did not see that place as some suspicious hiding place for Mladic. They always believed here that Mladic was hiding in big towns like Belgrade and even though they made lots of searches in villages in Serbia lately, that was somebody just discovered that his relatives, Bosnian-Serbian relatives, lived there, so that was the reason why they went in."

They pulled up to four houses simultaneously - all owned by relatives of one of the world's most wanted men.
