The charge sheet against wartime Bosnian Serb army chief Ratko Mladic has been revised, the prosecutor of the UN court that will try him for genocide and war crimes said.

"Today, we have filed an amended indictment against Ratko Mladic," prosecutor Serge Brammertz told journalists at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.

Mladic faces charges including persecution, extermination and murder, deportation, inhumane acts, unlawfully inflicting terror on civilians and taking of hostages, for atrocities committed during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.

He is accused of masterminding the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of about 8,000 Muslim men and boys, Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.

He is also charged over the 44-month siege of the capital Sarajevo from May 1992 in which 10,000 people died.
