Bosnian Serb Gets 17 Years in Massacre
From Times Wire Reports
A former Bosnian Serb army commander was jailed for 17 years by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague after confessing to his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys.
Dragan Obrenovic, one of two ex-commanders to admit his role in Europe’s worst massacre since World War II, had pleaded guilty at the U.N. court to one count of crimes against humanity.
Five other counts, including extermination and murder, were dismissed.
