Actually, the Dutch were made to personally sort male non-combattants from women and children, and the men were led away, later to appear in mass graves. The Dutch sent a jeep to follow to observe and Maladich had them stopped and stripped naked. It's viewed as an embarassment/disgrace to the Dutch. There was a public inquiry due to the subsequent public outrage. Statements agains interest have a kind of probity, don't you think?

Actually you have fallen for classic mis-information of the most obvious sort. The hard facts

In the case you are citing Combatants were seperated from non-combatants after the town was liberated. The roughly 200 Combatants who thereupon became POW's were treated according to Geneva convention. A few months later these POW's were exchanged via a ICRC prisoner exchange.

And yes, after 6 years of the most intensive UN forensic investigation know in man's history, some bodies of those 28th BiH Mujhadeen Division were found...... something like 70 bodies in total have been found which were from Basir Oric's unit .......as I stated, the overstretched BSA was unsucessful in annhilating the 28th as it retreated towards Tuzla in a chaotic mass.

What the UN forensic scientists DID find were some 1,200 bodies of people who were apparantly murdered by Nasir Oric's execution squads from 1993-1995

In addition to the 70 BiH paramilitaries ID'd, there are some additional 600 bodies which the UN forensics teams found which they believe are BiH paramilitaries which were killed in a "a fair fight"......at least this is what the UN forensic experts presented in their ICTY testimony.
