...just released report from the CIA concludes that 90% of Bosnian war atrocities were committed by the Serbs, with at least the tacit approval of their leaders. The report, based on aerial photographs and firsthand accounts, comes just as the U.S. and its European allies are portraying Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic as a peacemaker, seeking to lure him into serious negotiations with the Bosnian government and Croatia.
