Bosnian Serb Gen. Krstic Convicted of Genocide at Srebrenica
The Hague court found Bosnian Serb Gen Radislav Krstic guilty of genocide in the Srebrenica massacre and sentenced him to 46 years. The verdict marks the first genocide conviction by the UN war crimes tribunal and signals possible future cases against other Balkan leaders. Witnesses recounted families torn apart and graves dug as the operation hid mutilated bodies. Srebrenica survivors demanded a harsher verdict as live coverage showed tears and outrage. The U.S. State Department called the ruling a strong message that genocide will not be tolerated.
