Serbs arrested for 1992 massacre in Bosnia

Bosnian officials have arrested 13 former Serb soldiers and policemen for war crimes committed during the country's war in the nineties.

The men are charged with massacres committed in June 1992, which left around 40 Bosnian Croats and Bosniaks dead, with many of the suspect having served in the “Mice” paramilitary unit of the Bosnian Serb military.

The killings are alleged to have taken place in the towns of Teslic, Rankovic and Stenjac, soon after the start of the war, which ended in 1995.

Police arrested the men in the towns of Teslic and Doboj after the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, based at The Hague, handed the case to Bosnia.
