Latest video shows alleged Balkan war crimes

Another video has been broadcast in the Balkans which purports to show war crimes committed against ethnic Serbs in Croatia in 1995. It appears to show members of Bosnian paramilitary groups brutally interrogated a Serb prisoner who is later killed. The fighters are also shown vandalising an orthodox church.

This latest images - from nearly two hours of videos - were broadcast by Croatian television. The previous amateur video, allegedly involving Croatian fighters as well as those from Bosnia-Herzegovina, was transmitted by Serbian TV last week.

The violence took place in the self-declared Serb republic of Krajina when a Croatian military offensive was launched in 1995 to retake contested territories from Serbs. Hundreds of Serbs were killed and around 200,000 thousand fled into Bosnia and Serbia. Both Bosnia and Croatia have opened war crimes inquiries after receiving copies of the video that was broadcast by Serbian television last week.

I am just trying to help people get usually under-reported news and sources so that they can go for a news coverage comparison. But I would never suggest what "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" is. I do believe the average people is capable of drawing his or her own conclusions. I hope I'm helping them create their own criteria for judging who is who or what really happened.
