As the story goes, the Bosnian Serbs captured this "U.N.-protected zone" and proceeded to take away and execute thousands of men, women and children in the space of several...

ST. LOUIS-Thirty- five Bosnian war refugees have filed a lawsuit claiming the U.S. government is unlawfully delaying their applications to become United States citizens. The Bosnians, who came to the U.S. legally to escape persecution in the former Yugoslavia, have disabilities that range from post-traumatic stress disorder related to the war to various medical conditions, such as a stroke, their lawyers said Tuesday. About 40,000 Bosnians settled in the St. Louis area in the 1990s, making it one of the major centers for such refugees in the country.

Alun Salt Bosnian Pyramids: Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Atlantis I wasn't going to pyramid blog here, but I've new information and it might be handy to collate all the debunking into one post. If you've been following this at my site then skip on to the Geological and Archaeological results. Otherwise this is both really odd and something I would dearly love to be wrong about. Late last year news broke of a pyramid that had been found in Bosnia. I didn’t give it any thought until Coturnix wrote about it in December at Science and Politics....

Al-Qaeda on Trial: The Hague and Bosnian Muslim War Crimes, Part I The war crimes indictments and trials of mujahedin and high-ranking Bosnian Muslim military leaders have received scant coverage in the US and Western media. The US government and media do not want to see the unraveling of their lies and deceptions in regard to the true goals and actions of the Islamic regime they aided and abetted during the 1990’s civil wars in Yugoslavia, as the full truth is too devastating. It damns the Clinton administration, other Western allies and media for aiding war criminals and terrorists while...

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Bosnian Serb authorities offered details of six previously undisclosed mass graves in the town of Srebrenica on Friday, their first step in cooperating with a commission investigating the worst civilian massacre in Europe since World War II. Bosnian Serb military and police officials submitted details of the graves to the chairman of the commission studying the massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995. The Muslims were massacred when Serbs overran the eastern Bosnian enclave during the 3 1/2-year war in the former Yugoslav province. "The mass graves are located in the wider Srebrenica...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- The how and why 7,000 Bosnian Muslims were massacred eight years ago may finally have been answered at the war crimes tribunal at The Hague. Doubts had lingered as to the degree to which the killings were coldly planned or were improvised in chaos, says the New York Times. Those doubts arose because most of those killed were unarmed prisoners, boys and men, shot in groups, or sometimes one by one. No architect of the crime that turned Srebrenica into a symbol of a modern European nightmare has ever explained in public what...
