Cowboy, not challenging what happened to your friend. Just the knee-jerk reaction by you and Joan & others to deny any Serb wrong-doing.>>

Of course they deny serb wrong-doing. Serbs killing muslims can't be wrong to these people. In fact, it might be kinda fun.

I'm not being ironic. During the war, Serbian *tourists* would come to the seige of Sarajevo from Belgrade on buses and *pay money* for the chance to snipe passersby on the streets below. Think of it as the latest version of that story in Jr High School that we all read (those of us who can): "The Most Dangerous Game."

You are really laying the propaganda on thick with your story of "Serbian tourists" paying to come and snipe at Muslims in Sarajevo. Do you have any names of these Serbian sniper tourists?

This is about a Muslim sniper group in Sarajevo. The original interview was published in a Croatian newspaper, Slobodna Dalmacija, on September 12, 2000. How many "Serbian snipers" were, in actuality Muslim snipers?

Seve practiced by Shooting Civilians in Sarajevo

For example, at one moment he talked about the training they received in Metkovic. Later they went to the Pogorelice camp [near Fojnica], after which, according to Herenda, they regularly practiced sharp shooting. "Herenda. How did you practice that?" I asked him and he replied that they would climb hilltops or building tops and then shoot at Serbs in Grbavica. "How did you pick your targets?" We would shoot at anyone, said Herenda. For example, they would pick out a woman, an elderly woman and then they would shoot at her. One of them would follow her movement and the other one shoot. When I asked him how he could be certain that the woman was not for example a Bosniak woman who by chance stayed in Grbavica, he replied that they watched for that. For example they made sure that their targets were wearing black [custom among elderly Christian women in rural areas of Bosnia and elsewhere in the Balkans]. That indicates Herenda´s truly criminal character.

These sharp shooters... Were they professionals, people from abroad?

They had several trained sharp shooters from outside, while others went through training and practiced in the manner described by Herenda. Therefore they did not care whether they were shooting civilians, women, children, elderly... They did not care whether there would be a reaction to their activities.
