Kravica is Serb village and I believe that their native language is Serbian, not English.

What is the exact term Serb villagers used that you translated as "killbox" ?

Yea, what is the Serbo-Croatian term for "killbox"- Where did your assigned translator come from?

Thanks for the blinding flash of the obvious. I assumed everyone on this thread would realize that not many Bosnians, be they Serb,Muslim, or Croat, speak English as a first language, and would therefore understand that the term I used was a translation. Sorry if the quotation marks caused any confusion.

I had a pool of about 12 interpreters (the numbers fluctuated due to personnel changes, etc). They were fairly evenly split between Muslims and Serbs, although I did have one Croat.

I don't speak Serbo-Croatian, and never claimed to, but that particular term came up many times in conversations with locals in the Kravica/Glogova area.

The main question is still unaddressed: Who shot up the warehouse in Kravica?
