Serb beheading picture published
A Serb nationalist newspaper has published a picture of a Bosnian Muslim soldier beheading a Serb prisoner.
The image was taken from a private video shot in the 1990s during the war.
The international war crimes tribunal in The Hague has denied the paper's claims that the court refused to show the film because of its brutality.
The publication comes a week after Serbian TV broadcast a video of Serb paramilitaries executing Muslim prisoners in Srebrenica 10 years ago.
That video was screened at the international tribunal.
At least 12 of the Serb paramilitaries featured in it have since been arrested.
Correspondents say the footage shocked many Serbs who had previously denied that the massacre took place.
The Belgrade newspaper, Vecernje Novosti published a picture showing the beheading of Ensign Rade Rogic from Sanski Most.
The paper says its journalists were able to view private video footage of the 505th Buzim Brigade of the Bosnian government army showing heaps of mutilated bodies, torched villages and the killing of Ensign Rogic.
The paper said the tape was not fit for broadcasting.
The folks at BBC know exactly where the picture is from, but they're playing dumb. Even though the article is supposed to be about a Muslim war crime, the BBC spin machine manages to turn it into one of the 2,737,482,472 news reports on the execution of those 6 Muslims (actually there are about 5 different articles, the rest is courtesy of syndication and copy & paste "journalism").
The video showing war crimes committed by the 505th Brigade of the Bosnian army, including the brutal ritual execution of a Bosnian Serb Radde Rogich, was too ghastly for the Hague Tribunal. The video was played at a BKTV studio, with only a journalist and a cameraman from "Vechernye Novosti" (The Evening News). Miodrag Popov, a war reporter himself, the man who obtained the VHS tape, could not sit through it.
The video material begins with a Mujahedeen smoking a joint. The tape then cuts to a village in flames. Luckily, the civilians had already fled. The Bosnian soldiers are going door-to-door, shouting obscenities. A group of about 10 soldiers is shown stealing anything they could fit into the pockets of their pants, shirts and vests.
The tape is cut again. This time, we see no village. About 30 soldiers are seen walking, singing a war song. The words are not audible, except for "...don't be afraid of the Chetniks...," and "... Serbian blood...".
"This is Hamza's liberation army," we hear one of the soldiers. The video follows the group from one village to the next; unbelievable scenes of apocalypse and madness.
The camera aproaches a small group of soldiers who gathered in a circle. In the middle - a man on his knees. One blow to the face. And then another. The camera zooms in and we see Radde Rogich. Born in 1957, in Sanski Most. He got lost. These are his final minutes.
A young Mujahedeen wearing a green band over his forehead is interrogating Rogich. Speaks perfect Serbian.
- Do you know who I am?, he asks.
- I don't, says Rogich.
- What do you think, where do I come from?, he asks.
Meanwhile, about ten other soldiers are towering above Rogich, laughing. They're telling him, "He's a Mujahedeen." Rogich is on his knees, still.
The punches keep coming.
- Why am I here?, asks the Mujahedeen and keeps hitting the Serb.
- You're here to fight, f*ck it, I don't know, answers Rogich.
He is hit again a couple of times.
- How old are you?, someone from the crowd of soldiers asks.
- Thirty-nine, Rogich answers calmly.
- So, what are you doing here?, the Mujahedeen asks.
At this point, four or five soldiers start hitting the man. Rogich raises his arm in defense.
- What are you doing here? Speak up!
Rogich lowers his arm.
- Where have you been?, the soldier with a green band asks.
- In the woods, for f*ck's sake!
- What were you doing there?
- Come on, come on!, somebody yells, as if to hurry the Mujahedeen. - If it was up to me and you, we wouldn't be here now... a kick in the mouth interrupts Rogich.
- Don't you raise your voice!, the Mujahedeen yells.
- What kind of habit is that, yelling?, says another while holding Rogich by the hair, impatiently waiting for a chance to slit the man's throat. He drags Rogich down to the ground and hits him a few times behind the ear.
- Cut him there, cut him there!, he yells.
- The Mujahedeen orders Rogich to yell "Allahu Ekber" (Allah is great).
- Don't...Don't... Don't, are Rogich's last words.
His crushed skull is left next to a couple of rocks. Even though the quality of the video is bad, the three gashes are clear: one across the throat, one runs the length of the mouth and the third one is across Rogich's forehead.
The Mujahedeen grabs the head by the hair, raising it. He's showing off his trophey. Everyone's laughing.
Next thing we see is the Mujahedeen running with his arms up. He's screaming, "Allahu Ekber".
Without border control...this is coming to an elementary school near you.
They will be here as well, compliments of those American's who daily commit a treason against their country; who choose to degrade and undermine our Military and our President as determinedly as they defend and justify, our enemy. . .
. . .those 'American's', who cannot say terrorist. . .but rather reference them as 'jihadists'. . .'detainees' . . .
If words could kill; our soldiers would be getting a shot in the back; everytime these people open their mouths and fire.
(ie.. . .an example of not just a 'shot in the back' but a knife as well; from one of our 'own'. . ."Sen. Durbin [D-IL] took the Senate floor yesterday and likened American servicemen to Nazis...)
Borders are a huge problem;these big-mouth/treasonous, Left-wing/anti-America, American's are another. .
Close the borders; just make sure these people are on the other side. . .
Gdje je ova slika?
"Close the borders; just make sure these people are on the other side..."
...or maybe just let the "Nazi" soldiers 'detain' them. ;)
Yes. . .or just whatever it takes for these Lefties tp feel - beyond the point - of their own sword would be good. . .
