The number of Moslems killed in and around Srebrenica after the mysterious retreat of the Moslem garrison is not particularly relevant.
The Bosnian Serbs claim about 2000 Moslem dead killed in battle with the encircling Serbian forces, which lost about 600 men. The Moslems and their American friend have variously claimed between 11,000 – 7,000 Moslem deaths.
The real issue is how these Moslems were killed.
As many as 20,000 heavily armed Moslem men broke through Serbian lines around Srebrenica and were heading for Tuzla. For the encircling Serbian forces it was not clear if this massive military column was retreating to Tuzla or attacking the nearby Serbian town of Bratunac.
Serbian forces naturally opened fire on this massive Moslem army. Many Moslem soldiers were killed. These dead Moslems were definitely not "massacred." They were armed to the teeth and killed in battle.
All the Moslems who surrendered to General Mladic in Srebrenica (including many men) were sent to Sarajevo and Tuzla under Red Cross supervision. These were not massacred.
I dare say that in the heat of battle some Serbian soldiers shot captured Moslem soldiers, but it is impossible that 7,000 Moslems were killed in this way.
There is the strange case of the 10th Sabotage Unit of the Bosnian Serbian Army. This unit was staffed exclusively by Moslems, Croats and Slovenes all of whom had previously served in the French Foreign Legion. One member of this suspicious Unit, Dražen Erdemović, a Croat, admitted to massacring up to 1200 Srebrenica Moslems at the Pilica farm near Zvornik. There is some evidence that something nasty happened at the Pilica farm. But even if Erdemovic is telling the truth, who’s orders was he following?
If the world wants to know what happened in Srebrenica, then it should study the activities of the 10th Sabotage Unit of the Bosnia Serb Army. A Unit that had no Serbs as members and which took its orders from the French military and not General Mladic.
