Massacre colonel sentenced to 17 years
A Bosnian Serb colonel who pleaded guilty to crimes against humanity was sentenced to 17 years in prison today for helping carry out the infamous massacre of thousands of Muslims at Srebrenica, Bosnia.
Colonel Dragan Obrenovic, 40, was acting commander of the Zvornik Brigade in early July 1995, one of two brigades that carried out the bulk of killings when the UN safe haven of Srebrenica fell in the closing days of Bosnia’s three-and-a-half year war.
