LEXINGTON, Ky. — U.S. authorities have arrested a 51-year-old Croatian-born woman in Kentucky who is accused of war crimes against civilians during the Bosnian civil war in the 1990s.
Azra Basic, who was living in Stanton, Ky., is accused of torturing and murdering ethnic Serbs at prison camps from April to June 1992. Bosnia and Herzegovina officials want Basic returned to that country to stand trial
Eyewitnesses Radojica Garic and Dragan Kovacevic said Basic murdered Blagoje Djuras, who had been beaten to unconsciousness by Croatian police and soldiers, by slitting his throat with a knife, according to a court document.
"After that, Azra took us by the hair and dragged us to the wound on the neck from which the blood ran and made us drink that blood," Garic said......

10 input "what is your name?" n$
20 if n$ = AZRA Then Goto Jail
30 END
then lets see if she gets the death sentence too and what will this administration do as well.
No wonder INS waved her on in.
on what type visa was she entered into the OS????
what is her status??
Maybe the gay, lesbian and transgender folks will fund her legal defense. (She looks like one of them.)
She carved crosses on the prisoners. Was she a muslim or Christian?
lol
If she were a Muslim this probably wouldn;t make the news
Azra is a Muslim name.
I have no idea. This article is all I know about her at this point. It does, however, say that Interpol has known who she is, where she is and what she'd done, since 2004. The US has known about her since 2007, but "demanded more evidence" before they'd arrest her. Nice to know that the US is "protecting her rights".
She was marking them as Serbs. The cross with the four “S” or C’s in Cyrillic is the symbol of Serbia.
She’s have to be a Christian otherwise they wouldn’t bother with it. Wesley Clarke, Jeffrey Sachs, George Soros et al...you are bastards!
Yes and no, from what I understand.
It means "star" in Arabic and is often used as a girl's name in some Muslim countries.
But there was a Croatian band named Azra, and from what I can see there are also some Croat women from Bosnia with that name.
Her married name "Basic" is definitely Croat, I have a Croat friend with that last name.
Men are sadistic, you know. If only more women were in the government, there would be no wars...</sarcasm>
If she’s ethnically Croat, she’s Catholic. If she’s Croatian (ie, simply born within the borders of Croatia), she could be Muslim.
“Croatian-born woman...”
Oh, thank Goodness. From the headline I was afraid they’d just snagged some random hillbilly gal. /h
