TIME recently spoke to a former Red Beret, now in hiding, who described joining the unit just before it overran his hometown of Mostar in southeastern Bosnia on a cool fall day in 1991: "They took about a hundred Muslim and Croat civilians--men and women--from a shelter and lined them up on the banks of the Neretva River," recalled the heavily scarred Bosnian Serb, now 28.

The three men -Dragoljub Kunarac, a former commander in the Bosnian Serb army, and former paramilitary leaders Radomir Kovac and Zoran Vukovic-received sentences ranging from 12 to 28 years for brutalizing women in 1992 and 1993 in the southeastern Bosnian town of Foca. The tribunal found that rape was "used by members of the Bosnian Serb armed forces as an instrument of terror" to get the Muslims of Foca to leave after Serbs overran the town.
