Karadzic claims massacre was ‘myth to vilify Serbs’

THE slaughter of 8,000 Muslims at Srebrenica during the Bosnian war was a myth staged to vilify Serbs accused of their murder, former leader Radovan Karadzic has claimed.

At the UN war crimes trial yesterday, he said that genocide charges against him were riddled with false evidence.

Prosecutors say Karadzic was the “supreme commander” of a campaign to kill or expel Muslims and Croats from eastern Bosnia and create an ethnically pure Serbian state.
