Dragan Obrenovic, the alleged leader of a massacre of more than 5,000 Muslim men and boys from the Srebrenica enclave of Bosnia in 1995, has been detained by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Obrenovic was taken into custody on Sunday. He is charged with complicity in genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of the laws or customs of war.

His indictment alleged that he "participated in criminal plan and enterprise, the common purpose of which was to detain, capture, and summarily execute by firing squad and bury over five thousand Muslim men and boys from the Srebrenica enclave, including the exhumation of victims' bodies and re-burial in hidden locations."
