Srebrenica and the London Bombings

THE 'ANTI-WAR' LINK

By Marko Attila Hoare

23rd July 2005

At Srebrenica on 11 July 1995, Christian Serb fascists - Chetniks - massacred about eight thousand Muslim men and boys.

The Genocidal Circle Completes
SREBRENICA AS A FATE
By Ljiljana Smajlovic

Belgrade, 30 May 2005

05/31/2005

Belgrade, 30 May 2005. The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights (IHF), which brings together human rights groups from over 40 countries, is calling on Serbian authorities to acknowledge the reponsibility of Serb forces(1)in the genocide in Srebrenica.

As the 10th anniversary of this tragedy approaches, neither Prime Minister Kostunica, nor the president of the Parliament, nor any representatives of the government, has spoken to the public or the international community to recognize the crimes...
