Court clears Serb policemen of war crimes

A war crimes court in Bosnia has acquitted 2 Serbian policeman accused of committing war crimes by participating in the infamous 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

Prosecutors alleged that Dragan Neskovic and Zoran Ilic were guilt of crimes against humanity by rounding up Muslim men and boys, then executing them. However, judges doubted the credibility of witness statements and deemed some of them to be contradictory.

Over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were executed in Srebrenica in July 1995 by Bosnian Serb forces.
