New mass grave found in Bosnia
By Tariq Bashir - Pakistan Times Foreign Correspondent


SARAJEVO (Bosnia): Forensic experts have found a mass grave in northwestern Bosnia believed to contain the remains of Muslims killed by Serb forces at the beginning of the 1992-95 war, an official told 'Pakistan Times' Thursday.

"In one section of the grave we found several complete skeletons and in another a large number of skeletal remains including arms, legs and skulls," said Jasmin Odobasic, of the Bosnian Muslim commission for missing people.

The grave, in an inactive part of an iron mine near the northwestern town of Prijedor, appeared to have been disturbed following the initial burial, he added.

The commission had received information that some 200 civilians from Prijedor were initially buried in the grave but Odobasic said it was too early to say if all the remains would be found.
