Serbs See New 'War Crimes' Tape
BBC NEWS ^ | 9 August 2006

Posted on 08/09/2006 3:34:55 PM PDT by Doctor13

The first video apparently showed a civilian being killed.

A second video allegedly showing war crimes being committed against Serb civilians 11 years ago was broadcast in Serbia on Tuesday. The footage shows a Bosnian commander, Atif Dudakovic, apparently ordering the burning of a Serb village.

The Serbian government has called for General Dudkovic to be prosecuted. He denies the accusations.

Last week another tape emerged, which apparently showed the murder of a surrendered Serb civilian.

It allegedly showed Croat paramilitaries and Bosnian soldiers harassing and attacking convoys of Serb refugees and shooting one of them who had his hands raised in the air.

Both videos were broadcast by the Serbia B92 television station.

'Burn it all'

Like the previous tape, Tuesday's video was apparently shot during Operation Storm in 1995, when Croatian soldiers recaptured parts of Croatia from ethnic Serbs who had declared independence.

As Serbs fled from the Croat offensive, General Dudkovic appears to order his troops to torch a village - apparently ordering them to "burn it all". "It is true that I led the operation, but it is not true that war crimes were committed, and even if some had happened, those were individual cases," General Dudakovic told the Fena news agency.

The Serbian government called for the immediate arrest of General Dudakovic and "other war criminals".

"The recordings, which beyond any doubt testify about Dudakovic's misdeeds, represent evidence that must be taken as the basis for immediate action by police and judiciary," it said in a statement.

The republic of Serb Krajina was a self-proclaimed entity in Croatia, lasting from 1991 to 1995, until Operation Storm brought it under Croat control.

The military operation forced the exodus of about 200,000 Serbs who fled into Bosnia and Serbia.

Hundreds of Serb civilians were killed - mostly elderly people who stayed on after their families had left.

In 2001, General Ante Gotovina was indicted by the Hague tribunal for alleged crimes committed by Croatian forces during Operation Storm.

Former Croatian General Ante Gotovina, who led the offensive, is being tried at The Hague in relation to the killing and forced eviction of ethnic Serb civilians.

BBC!
I remember the time when these Croats were busy carrying out mass murder of the Serbs.
The BBC made out that it was only the Serbs were doing the killing, and actively suppressed any evidence of Croat atrocities, so the US could back Croatia.
Now today, 11 years later , the BBC is now talking about "alleged war crimes"?
Exactly what use is that today?
Puleeze!

If Agim Ceku got off with just a slap on the wrist, what do you think this killer of Serbs, Bosnian commander, Atif Dudakovic will get?

One of the biggest butchers in the war, Ceku, War Criminal, Ally, or Both? reveals the atrocities committed by him against Serbian civilians, mostly the elderly.

Ceku had been sentenced to two years but because he had already served three years, he is now walking a free man.

Such is the justice of The Hague.

Bill Clinton bombed Serbia from 15,000 feet, to distract from his getting Lewinskies.

No Congressional approval, no UN approval, he just declared war and did it.

The Serbs were our allies, good friends. Clinton ruined that, and let the muslims take over.

Again, no Congressional approval, no UN mandate, nothing.

He just did it.

That is his legacy.

And just one of many, unfortunately, in his quest to top Jimmuh as worst president ever.

But I think Carter still edges past B.J. for top "honors"...

I can't believe the BBC is coming out with this!
They should ask Bill Clinton and Westley Clark for their perspectives.

["If Agim Ceku got off with just a slap on the wrist, what do you think this killer of Serbs, Bosnian [Muslim] commander, Atif Dudakovic will get?"]

Probably something like Nasir Oric got - 2 to 3 years and then credit for time served.

The ICTY is bias against Serbs and most level headed people know this.

Wow, with so much hype regarding the video of the Scorpions executing muslims, its amazing how deafening the silence is of our resident hate mongers Hoplite and mark. I bet these two pinheads keep their own private copy of Oric's greatest hits in their own personal war porn collection.
