BOSNIAN FORENSIC EXPERTS EXUME MORE SKELETON REMAINS OF GENOCIDE VICTIMS FROM A MASS GRAVE NEAR SREBRENICA

SREBRENICA, Bosnia (October 14,2007) - Bosnian authorities said forensic experts have exhumed the bodies of more than 220 genocide victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre carried out by the genocidal Serbian aggressor from a mass grave in eastern Bosnia.

Bosnian official Murat Hurtic said the grave, discovered three weeks ago, contained 34 complete skeleton remains of the genocide victims and the partial remains of 192 others in the village of Zeleni Jadar, 15 kilometers south of Srebrenica. He said bullets and some personal documents also were recovered.

Hurtic said many of the skeleton remains of the genocide victims were crushed, indicating the victims had been killed elsewhere and their bodies reburied with bulldozers by the Serbian aggressor. He also said Bosnian experts will open another mass grave in the same area next week.

The systematic murdering by the genocidal Serbian aggressor of up to 10,000 Bosnian men and boys is considered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) an act of genocide and the worst massacre in Europe since World War II.

So far, about 3,000 remains of the genocide victims have been identified and reburied. The partial remains of 5,000 more genocide victims are still waiting to be identified.
