Srebrenica Anniversary Marked With Burial of 400 Newly Identified Victims
8,000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys were killed over five days in 1995
In July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces rolled into the Bosniak-populated town of Srebrenica, beginning a campaign of ethnic killings unparalleled in Europe since the Nazi era. Pushing aside the lightly armed Dutch UN troops guarding the area, the army slaughtered more than 8,000 men and boys in just five days, dumping their bodies in a series of mass graves along the outskirts of the town.
