4 Bosnian Muslims jailed for war crimes

Four Bosnian Muslims were sentenced for war crimes on Monday over their role in a 1992 attack against a Serb village that left 16 civilians dead. Judge Ljubomir Kitic sentenced the former soldiers to between nine and a half and 11 and a half years "for war crimes against the civilian population". "The defendants are found guilty for taking part in the September 1992 attack against the Serb civilian population in the (northern) village of Serdari," Kitic told Bosnia's war crimes court. Sixteen civilians aged between four and 60 were killed in the attack. The 1992-1995 inter-ethnic war in Bosnia left some 100,000 dead and displaced about two million people, almost half of the country's pre-war population.
