Bosnia arrests 8 Bosnian Serb war crimes suspects
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnian police have arrested eight former Bosnian Serb soldiers and policemen suspected of illegally detaining, torturing and then killing nearly 120 non-Serb civilians in northern Bosnia during the country’s bloody 1992-95 war.
The state prosecution said Tuesday the eight men are accused of crimes against humanity. Their victims were found in several mass graves around the town of Prijedor after the Bosnian war. During the execution of the 120 victims — 15 of them minors — in the summer of 1992, a few people survived.
