Survivors mark Srebrenica massacre anniversary

Thousands of survivors of Europe’s worst massacre of civilians since the Second World War will mark the 10th anniversary of the slaughter today by burying the newly-identified bodies of 610 victims.

Shortly before the end of the 1992-95 Bosnian war, Bosnian Serb soldiers overran Srebrenica – a UN-protected zone – and began a slaughter that left 8,000 Muslims dead, most of them men and boys. Their bodies were dumped in mass graves throughout eastern Bosnia.
