Two former Bosnian Army members arrested for war crimes

He was taken into custody by members of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), on the prosecution's orders.

A statement added that From May until August 1992, after "ten men fit for military service" were taken from the village of Crkvine to never be seen again, Dzambegovic went to the village armed "at least 15 times" and carried out "constant physical and psychological abuse and intimidation of the remaining Serb civilians."

The prosecution added it was also "intensively investigating" several persons suspected of taking the ten men from the village and executing them afterwards. Their remains are still searched for, the local media are reporting.

On Monday, Zaim Lalicic was arrested in Sarajevo on suspicion of committing a war crime against Serb civilians in Hrasnica in 1992 and 1993.

The Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia-Herzegovina charged the 53-year-old with acting contrary to the provisions of the Geneva Conventions on the protection of civilians in times of war during the time he was a member of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

He is also suspected of inhumane treatment and physical abuse of several Serb civilians, as well as of multiple rape and sexual abuse of a Serb woman.

The victims were illegally held captive in a building in Sarajevo's Hrasnica neighborhood, the Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
