Experts Begin Digging at Suspected Mass Grave
Forensic experts started digging for remains at what they say could be one of the biggest mass graves of Muslim victims from the 1992-95 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Amor Masovic, head of the Muslim-led Commission for Missing Persons, said the grave might hold bodies of Muslims killed early in the war in nearby Zvornik by the army of the former Yugoslavia and Serbian irregulars. He said it could also be linked to the 1995 Serbian massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica, meaning bodies were reburied to hide traces of that crime.
