Bosnia arrests three Muslim ex-soldiers
SARAJEVO Bosnian police yesterday arrested three Muslim former soldiers suspected of committing war crimes during the country’s inter-ethnic war in the early 1990s, a local court said.
Adil Ruznic, 40, Mehura Selimovic and Emir Mustafic, both 46, were detained in the northwestern town of Bihac on suspicion of committing war crimes against civilians and prisoners of war, the Court of Bosnia-Hercegovina said in a statement.
The alleged crimes took place in the area of Bihac where the three men were members of the mainly Muslim Bosnian army 5th corps. Victims were Bosnian Serbs and the supporters of former rebel Muslim leader Fikret Abdic, who carved out a separate fiefdom in southwestern Bosnia during the war and fought against government forces.
