- Story Text: A mass grave at Kamenica, north of the Bosnian
capital Sarajevo, estimated to hold up to 100 bodies, has been
discovered just metres from another site where more bodies
were discovered weeks ago. Personal documents found on some of
the bodies point to the victims being from Srebrenica.
The discovery of a mass grave at a site north of the
Bosnian capital Sarajevo has proved to be grim work but might
yield clues to the fate of dozens of Muslims during the
Bosnian war.
The grave is estimated to hold up to 100 bodies and was
just metres from another site where more bodies were
discovered just weeks ago.
The grave is suspected to be linked to the infamous
Srebrenica massacre, where in July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces
took over the town and stand accused of having carried out
acts of genocide on up to 7,000 men and boys from Muslim
families.
Human rights activists have criticised NATO for failing to
capture such figures as Radovan Karadzic and his Balkan
wartime military chief Ratko Mladic -- The Hague's two most
wanted men in connection with the atrocities in the region.
Both remain popular among nationalist Serbs there and are
believed to be protected by heavily armed bodyguards.
Diplomats believe Mladic is in the Serb Republic, one of
post-war Bosnia's two autonomous entities, or in
Serb-dominated Yugoslavia.
The U.N. tribunal has indicted the two men for the 1995
massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the eastern
town of Srebrenica and the siege of Sarajevo.
