Petar Civcic and Branko Topola, suspected of war crimes committed against Bosniaks in 1992, were arrested on Thursday morning in Prijedor. The two, arrested on a warrant issued by the Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution, are accused of committed war crimes against humanity on August 21, 1992 at the Koricanske Stijene near Vlasic, along with the rest of the special police unit of Prijedor and members of the Prijedor territorial defense. Suspected war criminals arrested in Bosnia Prosecution spokesperson Boris Grubesic told Radio RS that the apartments of the two suspects will be searched, as will the police station in Prijedor, since Civcic is still an active officer in the force. The Hague Tribunal already convicted Darko Mrdja to 17 years for the crimes in question, in which more than 200 Bosniaks from Prijedor were killed, while the Bosnian courts sentenced Damir Ivankovic to eight years in prison after he pleaded guilty to the war crimes charges. The Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution has several more suspects on its list for the crimes in question, most of whom are from Prijedor and were once members of the special police unit.
