SKELETON REMAINS OF OVER 120 GENOCIDE VICTIMS EXUMED FROM A MASS GRAVE IN EASTERN BOSNIA

SREBRENICA, Bosnia (October 7,2007) - The remains of more than 120 genocide victims have been exhumed from a mass grave in eastern Bosnia, a Bosnian forensic expert said.

"So far we have exhumed 19 complete and 105 incomplete skeletons," Murat Hurtic of Bosnia’s Missing Persons Commission said.

The grave, located outside the village of Zeleni Jadar, about 15 kilometres (10 miles) south of the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, is thought to contain the remains of at least another 50 genocide victims, he said.

Some personal documents had also been uncovered from the burial site, which was discovered in September. The remains were crushed and compressed, proving they had been re-buried with bulldozers.

In the final months of the 1992-1995 Serbian aggression against Bosnia, the genocidal Serbian aggressor murdered some 10,000 Bosnian civilians in the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica - the single worst atrocity on Europe since World War II.

Most of their remains were buried in a large mass grave before being moved by the serbian aggressor in an attempt to cover up the crime.The Srebrenica massacre has been deemed by the UN war crimes tribunal and the International Court of Justice to have constituted genocide. Thousands of bodies of the genocide victims have been uncovered from about 60 mass graves around the eastern Bosnian town of Srebenica.

The main culprits for the genocide against Bosnians - former leaders of the Serbians living in Bosnia,Serbian war criminals Radovan Karadzic Ratko Mladic - still remain at large.
