Bosnia marks Srebrenica massacre | |||
A special ceremony is to be held at the Potocari ceremony outside the town on Sunday as the recently identified remains of 775 victims are laid to rest with the 3,749 already buried there. The massacre occurred when Bosnian Serb troops advanced on Srebrenica, a Muslim enclave supposedly under the protection of United Nations forces. The towns' men and boys fled into the surrounding hills, but were hunted down by the troops, who shot and buried them in mass graves. They were then dug up and reburied in more than 70 sites in an effort to cover up the extent of the killings. The massacre has been designated an act of genocide by the UN's war crimes court and the international court of justice. It is remembered as the darkest day in the bloody break-up of the Yugoslav federation in the 1990s. Sumber: Aljazeera Net, 11/7/2010 |
