**CORRECTS REFERENCE TO IZUDIN ALIC AS A BOSNIAN MUSLIM, NOT A BOSNIAN SERB** FILE - This image from file video shows Bosnian Muslim boy Izudin Alic being patted on the head by a grinning Ratko Mladic in 1995 as Mladic assures him that everyone in Srebrenica, Bosnia, would be safe as other young Bosnian Muslims look on, just hours before overseeing the murder of some 8,000 men and boys. But Izudin Alic escaped with his life to bear witness to the incident. Sitting in his home in Srebrenica, Bosnia, on Tuesday May 31, 2011, 24-year old Alic recalls the sunny day in 1995 when he met with the Bosnian Serb military commander Mladic, who gave him chocolate, even as soldiers were killing his father in the nearby woods. The fugitive Mladic has been arrested on charges relating to alleged war crimes during the Bosnian 1992-95 war. (AP Photo, File) TV OUTAP - The video horrified the world: a grinning Ratko Mladic patting a young Muslim boy on the head and assuring him everyone in the Srebrenica area would be safe — just hours before overseeing the murder of 8,000 men and boys.
