...monstrous crime committed against persons of a different religion ... in the name of our nation." Serb officials had previously denied that their troops were involved in the Bosnian war. The tape is the first to show that Serb troops - not just Bosnian Serb militia - killed prisoners at Srebenica, Bosnia, where some 8,000 Muslims were murdered. After the tape was shown, 10 Scorpions, including some of the men seen in the clip, were arrested in Serbia on war-crimes charges, in what U.N. war-crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte called a "brilliant operation." Until confronted with this evidence, most Serbs...
...order, a broader search is conducted. Ibrahim Satti, local director of Al-Haramain & Al-Masjed Al-Aqsa (not related to the other Al-Haramain) said his agency's accounts were frozen for no apparent reason, interrupting a project to build schools and dormitories for 300 orphans mainly from the Srebenica massacre. "If we take care of your children," he asked, "is that terrorism?" "I'm not in the business of picking on orphans or widows," said Sylvester. "If the organizations are reputable they need to clean themselves out." Bosnia, of course, is not the only place to have seen...
...reports that Srebenican women demonstrated again in Tuzla on Friday. "It was quite violent," says Stiglmayer. "They threw rocks and broke windows of a government building." Dozens of the women, who are the wives and daughters and mothers of men missing since the Serbs overran the Muslim enclave of Srebenica last fall, also traveled to Sarajevo to protest what they claim is the inaction of the government in getting an accounting.

...Jajce, now controlled by Bosnian Croats, because unseasonably warm weather and floods have unearthed dozens of bodies in the area. Adds TIME's Alexandra Stiglmayer: "The International War Crimes tribunal still plans to begin the real investigations of mass grave sites, like those around Serb-held Brcko and Srebenica, in the spring. Since the town fell relatively late in the Serb's offensive, everyone knew that they were ethnically cleansing. Most of the Croats and Muslims fled before the Serbs arrived. It was a pretty organized retreat. So it could be that the bodies they are finding are either soldiers...
...plan. Will he allow Mladic to be put on trial? That could make things in Dayton more difficult." The other great dilemna, says Barnes, who just returned from Bosnia, is that "nobody has behaved honorably in the face of these atrocities. And there were no real lessons learned from Srebenica. The same thing happened at the beginning of October around Banja Luka. Men were separated from women and children and taken away. Again the West did nothing, despite knowing about it. There are now 2,000 men missing in that area. There's enough guilt to go around. There...
