An official Bosnian Serb investigation into the Srebrenica events of July 1995 has found that several thousand Muslims were murdered by local Serb forces. It is the first time the Bosnian Serb authorities have admitted the killings which The Hague war crimes tribunal has declared an act of genocide. The Bosnian Serb commission reported "grave" violations of human rights and an attempt to conceal evidence. It also revealed the discovery of 32 previously unknown mass grave sites. ... According to the report: Bosnian Serb forces planned a three-stage operation: the attack on the town, the separation of women and children and the execution of the men;
military and police units, as well as special units of the interior ministry, took part in the murders;
four new graves are original sites while the other 28 are sites where bodies were reburied to hide traces of the massacre;
the commission has data on 7,779 people missing in Srebrenica and has so far identified 1,332 of them. .... |
