| Mass grave in Bosnia thought to hold scores of Muslims |
| 2002-07-23 |
| Forensic experts discovered a mass grave in northeastern Bosnia that may contain up to 100 bodies of Muslims killed at the end of the country's 1992-95 war, officials said Tuesday. Murat Hurtic, a member of the Muslim Commission for Missing Persons, said the mass grave was found Monday near the Serb-held village of Kamenica, 45 miles northeast of Sarajevo. "We believe they were Muslims killed in Srebrenica in 1995," Hurtic said. Srebrenica was declared a U.N. "safe haven" during the end of Bosnia's war, and thousands of Muslims flocked there to escape Serb attacks. But Bosnian Serb troops later overran the town, rounding up and executing men and boys. Didn't we do something in Bosnia a few years back because the Serbs were going nutz killing Muslims? And maybe in Kosovo, too? Nah. Couldn't have been us. We're at war with all of Islam, aren't we? Up to 8,000 Muslims were believed killed in the massacre, considered Europe's worst since World War II. The remains of more than half of the victims have already been found in various mass graves in eastern Bosnia. Shucks, that's even more than we've been accused of so gleefully killing in Afghanistan. And all Muslims, eh? And we didn't kill them? How can that be? I wonder who eventually ended up helping them? |
