Agreed, Johnny - crimes against children are the worst. At least these thugs are being tried. But what of others? There were terrible atrocities committed during the siege of Sarajevo, but many things known at the time were not reported. For example, recently disclosed at the ICTY - Major-General David Fraser, who was military assistant to the UN protection force's (UNPROFOR) sector Sarajevo commander from April 1994 to May 1995, appeared as witness for the prosecution in the Karadzic trial.

Under cross-examination by Karadzic, Fraser said he had heard from fellow UN soldiers that the (Muslim) Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina had employed sniper detachments to target Muslim children in the Bosnian capital and to then blame these killings on the Serbian side.

"A protest was lodged against the Muslims for these types of actions," he said.

Regarding the shelling of Sarajevo, Fraser referred to an incident where the UN determined that a mortar fired against Muslim civilians in an area called Skenderija had in fact come from Muslim forces.

"It would appear that the intent of the Muslims was to incite more casualties and put blame on to the Serbs for this attack."

Fraser also recalled that a deliberate practice of Bosnian Muslim forces in Sarajevo was to employ mobile mortars adjacent to sensitive positions, such as UN installations and hospitals, and fire at Serbian positions in order to "draw a response from the Serbs."

He cited the example of how a mortar was fired from Kosevo hospital and said: "We would protest against the Muslims for firing weapons near places like hospitals or the use of mobile systems because it was trying to solicit a response not against the target itself but the collateral damage and that was unacceptable."

Whilst some may overplay the role of mujahideen in Bosnia and the creation of a 'Balkan Caliphate', General Fraser's under-oath statement demonstrates that at least some of the Bosniak army were capable of hamas levels of cynical manipulation in shooting their own people, including children.

"I like how Serbia sends alleged war criminals to trial instead of protecting them like Albania and Kosovo's Albanians do to their own suspects. Instead of denying their people are even likely of any crimes, Serbia is showing great maturity like any civilized nation and sending its own to trial. Kosovo's Albanians and Albania, on the other hand...well, you know."

Exactly that's the difference between the two 'countries'. Well, for the population, just like there are people here who claim that Thaci is innocent and it could never have happened, unfortunately, there are Serbs commentors present here who already know that the accused persons are innocent, too.

IF they are guilty they should rot in jail, no exeptions for any war criminals, regardless of their nationality. All Serbs, Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians, Slovenians, Montenegrins and other people guilty of war crimes should be threwn in jail, not just one etnicity to justify the wests bad concience...

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but have no fear, the rest will be captured in due time. The righteous will not rest until all the evildoers are brought to justice.

Isn't this funny, no comments from Serbs here. I guess they are busy spreading propaganda elsewhere.

Don't worry- we missed nothing., some of us were on this subject at proper times.

Those people are innocent BTW, and if convicted it will not be punished for any organ trade. We are predators but not the hyenas.

I hope they have good treatment and lawyers as it should.
