Bosniaherzegovina

Bosnian forensic teams have exhumed 59 bodies including 18 children, believed to be Serb civilians, from a mass grave in the north-east of the country, a forensic expert said on Wednesday. So far about 18 000 bodies have been exhumed from more than 300 mass graves throughout the country.

Forensic experts have been toiling away for a month to try to uncover the horrors of what is apparently the largest mass grave dating from the Bosnian war. The grave is believed to contain about 500 bodies of civilians from the Crni Vrh region.
