Tribunal Cuts Sentence for Bosnian General
From Times Wire Reports
The U.N. war crimes tribunal at The Hague reduced the sentence of a Bosnian Serb general by 11 years and said he was not guilty of genocide but of “aiding and abetting genocide.”
Gen. Radislav Krstic will now serve 35 years in prison, the appeals court ruled. But it rejected a defense argument that the killing of about 7,500 men and boys, mostly Muslims, in the U.N.-protected zone of Srebrenica in 1995 fell short of the worst of all crimes.
