Remains Found at Alleged Massacre Site
Forensic experts in Bosnia said they have found the remains of about 50 bodies at a site where a local Serb alleged that Muslims had been killed by Serbian forces in 1992. Amor Masovic, the head of the Muslim commission for missing persons, said the remains were found at the Ivan Polje meadow. The site, five miles from the eastern town of Sokolac, has served as a local dump since Bosnia’s 1992-95 war. Masovic said that six feet of garbage, as well as earth and heavy blocks from a destroyed mosque in nearby Novoseoci village, had been thrown over an area the size of a soccer field to conceal the remains.
