Victims exhumed in Bosnia

20/07/2008 12:00:01 AM

FORENSIC experts have exhumed 66 Srebrenica massacre victims from a mass grave in eastern Bosnia.

Murat Hurtic, head of the forensic team, said the last bodies were taken out yesterday. Two complete and 64 incomplete skeletons were exhumed.

An identification card found in the grave supported initial information that the bodies were of Muslim men from Srebrenica who were killed in the July 1995 massacre.

About 8000 Bosnian Muslim men were killed when Bosnian Serb troops overran Srebrenica in what the International Court of Justice last year defined as an act of genocide. More than 3200 massacre victims have been found in nearby mass graves.
