The unit in question, the Scorpions, are part of Serbia's Ministry of the Interior, and were involved in atrocities in Kosovo in addition to Bosnia - it was their training ground at Batajnica, outside Belgrade, in which the mass grave of Kosovar Albanians was found in 2001.

This latest revelation is no so much pertinent to Milosevic's trial, in which the prosecution has already finished it's case, as it is to Bosnia's upcoming suit against Serbia in the International Court of Justice - Belgrade's defence has always been that it was not involved directly in Bosnia's war, but that stance has become well nigh unsupportable.

Wonder if this will finally put to rest the apologists and nay sayers on this board who deny crimes were committed by the Serbs.....

not likely is my guess

It took me a while to grasp the idea that bosnians were actually capable of perpetrating massacres against their own people in order to pull gullible American and NATO weenies into their schemes.

And why was Milosevic more of a threat to our natl. security than Sadam?

Sensible people have never argued that Milosevitch was a nice guy, or that the Serbs never committed any atrocities. Atrocities have been committed by all the various nationalities in former Yugoslavia.

But in Bosnia the Muslims committed more atrocities than the Serbs, and in Kosovo the Albanian terrorists committed, and continue to commit, more atrocities than the Serbs.

I still think it's clear that we fought this war on the wrong side.

Did this come out during the Tribunal?

Where's the reference, and Milosevic response?

I want to see this video, if it actually exists.

Until then, my BS detector is on high alert.

Amazing how the MSM can report something, but the public is never allowed to view the evidence.

So, is there a video that I can watch, or was this another fiction created by the MSM?

Some 8,000 Bosnian men and boys were led away to their deaths, survivors telling of how they were lined up and shot in several batches, then buried in mass graves.

Now this should be easy to verify. At this location, 8,000 bodies should be in a mass grave. It should be trivial to exhume the bodies and validate what this article reported.

What were the autopsy reports for these exhumed bodies? If so, can we read these autopsy reports?

I say this with respect: Serbian Mr. Voinovich better be watching this stuff so he knows how incompetent that so-called organization, the UN, is at solving ANY world problem.

Lets see what R. Holdbrook would have had to say about this. Do I hear crickets?

This civil war was not a conflict with one side a good side and one side a bad side, just like Nazis at war with Stalin's communists which were both not favored for a victory by the US. Bosnia's Muslims may have murdered Serbians as well as Serbians murdering Bosnia's Muslims.

Who were these Muslims that were executed by that one Serbian military unit? Were they captured terrorists?

Not our idea of justice but maybe the jihadis had it coming?

Perhaps in response to a plea to wait, a voice could be heard telling the bound men that "when you were killing Serbs you didn't wait."

I'm an not saying this justifies executions of civilians, but to me it does add a certain perspective: I remember very clearly an interview of a Bosnian fighter stating, and with a smirk on his face, that they deliberately were goading the Serbs into mass reprisials because of the political capital they would gain internationally and also inspire more Bosnians to take up the fight when the Serbs over-reacted with atrocities.

My thoughts at the time were that either they were almost incredibly cynical and cold-hearted, or I was extremely naive, or perhaps both. I mean, I was shocked.

So the Serbs are arresting those they can identify as having committed atrocities.

When does Ceku go on trial for the murders in the Krajina, eh rooster?

What about the videos of the mass murders committed by Muslims in Middle East and Asia? What about their past? What about mentioning the atrocities the Serbs suffered at the hands of the Ottoman Empire (not that it excuses their retribution against the local Muslims)? If I see or read one more piece about the abuse of the Muslims I am going to lose it, seriously. There is one book which should be mandatory reading for all the "infidels" and which will bring light, the TRUE light about the Muslim world and that is "History of the Arabs" by Dominique Sourdel.

What happened in Bosnia is a harbinger of what may eventually engulf the _entire continent_ of Europe.

It may become a fight to the finish between the white Christians of Europe and the Islamic newcomers (who, until now, have been welcomed - even encouraged - by the European Christians, for reasons unfathomable, perhaps "Christian guilt"). At this point, it is unclear who will win. What _is_ clear is that the United States _stopped_ the Serbians in Bosnia, and now it is the Christians who have become the persecuted, there.

I was for the Serbs. Yes, they were extreme in their zealousness to win the battle with Islam in Bosnia. But, I sense they _knew_ the viciousness of the enemy they opposed, and they _also_ knew that if they lost, equal (or greater) atrocities would be visited upon them. Is not that actually happening to some of the Christians that remain in Kosovo now?

Islam intends to take Europe by whatever means necessary. What will it take, in turn, to stop them?

Cheers!
