Bosnia graves may hold hundreds of Muslims
REUTERS , MILJEVINA, BOSNIA

Forensic experts and workers sift through human remains, clothes and shoes at a mass grave in a waste disposal site near the eastern Bosnian town of Miljevina on Tuesday. After two days of work they found 35 bodies of victims believed to be Muslims killed by Serb forces at the beginning of the 1992-1995 war in the municipality of Foca.

Bosnian forensic experts recovered remains of three dozen people in a mass grave covered with coal mine waste on Tuesday and said it might hold many hundreds of Muslims missing from the area for 12 years.

"These victims are men and clothes and shoes found inside indicate that they are civilians," said Amor Masovic, head of the Commission for Missing People of Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation, whose team led the exhumation work.

"According to our information, they are inmates from the notorious KP Dom prison and inhabitants of Foca, Miljevina and Jelec killed in April and May of 1992. Inmates were killed in September and October," Masovic said.
