Bosnia war ‘evoked horrors of World War II’
At a landmark hearing to determine sentence for ex-Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic, Albright the most senior US official ever to testify at The Hague described her horror as she learned of ethnic cleansing of non-Serbs in the Bosnian war.
"It was unimaginable that these kinds of things could be going on and that they were being done ... in a deliberate way, not some accident of a drunken soldier marauding, but part of some kind of plan to eradicate various groups of people," Ms Albright said as Plavsic listened intently from the dock.
