Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.

Jeremy Lin drowns playoff loss sorrows in alcohol-fueled clubbing spree

Jeremy Lin drowned his sorrow of losing to Miami Heat in the playoffs by downing several bottles of alcohol along with his teammates at the Meatpacking District clubs in Manhattan Thursday night.

The NBA star and his mates Josh Harrellson, Landry Fields and Jerome Jordan had a wild night out at SL and 1OAK, a day after the Knicks' season came to a close Wednesday night when the Miami Heat knocked them out of the NBA playoffs.

After cleaning out their lockers at MSG Thursday afternoon, the Knicks were spotted at SL on West 14th Street at about 1 am.

According to a source, Lin and the gang had several bottles of vodka and Champagne sent to their table. And all, including the previously alcohol-shy Lin, knocked back the booze while mingling with models.

"They were really drowning their sorrows," the New York Post quoted an onlooker as saying.

"Jeremy was drinking and was acting tipsy . . . like a college frat kid," the source said.

Onlookers also said that girls were flocking to their table, and Lin was seen talking to a group dressed in tight-fitting dresses.

Former Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks later arrived to chat with the hoopsters, who partied past 3 am.

At around 3:30, the athletes were then spotted at 1OAK on West 17th Street.

Sources there saw Lin, Harrellson and Jordan enter the nightclub with about 10 friends, but Fields was not with them.

Onlookers said the crew ordered several bottles of Patron Magnum tequila and grooved along to DJ Jus-Ske's set until 4 am. (ANI)
