STORYLINE
Serbia extradited Ratko Mladic to the UN war crimes tribunal on Tuesday, after he was charged by the court for the killing of eight thousand Muslim men and boys in the worst massacre of civilians in Europe since World War II
A convoy of police vehicles, believed to be carrying Mladic, left the Belgrade prison where he was being held and made its way to Belgrade airport.
A Falcon jet was then seen taking off from the airport at 5:40 pm (1540 GMT), minutes after Serbian Justice Minister Snezana Malovic said Mladic was on the plane.
The extradition to The Hague, Netherlands, came the same day judges' received and rejected Mladic's appeal to stop the hand-over on the grounds that the 69-year-old is not mentally and physically fit to stand trial.
Mladic is charged at the tribunal for atrocities committed by his Serb troops during Bosnia's 1992-5 war, including the notorious Srebrenica massacre.
Mladic was arrested on Thursday in a village north of Belgrade after 16 years on the run,.
In addition to the appeal, his lawyer had asked for a team of doctors to examine Mladic, who is said to have suffered at least two strokes.
Prosecutors accused Mladic of using delaying tactics and said nothing should prevent his extradition to the tribunal, maintaining that doctors who have examined him say Mladic is in good enough health to face trial.
