An Orthodox cemetery in Benkovac in Croatia has been dug up and devastated by excavators during a search for a mass burial site, says the Serbian Orthodox Church. The operation was led by police and soldiers together with forensic experts who, the SPC says in a statement, left a sorry scene of general destruction with graveyards littered around the churchyard following the failed search.
