Radovan Karadzic, former leader of the breakaway Serb Republic in Bosnia, was sentenced Thursday to 40 years in prison after being found responsible for genocide and nine other counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
The charge of genocide related to the massacre of Bosnian Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995, the worst mass killing in Europe since World War II.
Karadzic was found not guilty on one count of genocide.
