I am not sure what you actually want to believe. But I can definitely refer
you and other interested people to three well-known independent sources:
 Newsweek Magazine of previous week;
 The Miami Herald (newspaper), Sunday, Dec 27, 1992 - Sec. A;
 and, NPR - The National Public Radio, Atlanta, GA

The NPR interviewed with a social worker who actually interviewed women in
Bosnia. Muslim women, as young as 9 years, were raped and kept in camps
until the possibility of their getting an abortion was practically over. 
The Christian Serbs did not leave them free as they wanted to make sure
that these women will definitely give birth to the babies they are carrying.
She had heard of even some 7 years got rapped, but was unable to verify or
meet in person. 
The Miami Herald had interviews with Bosnians Muslim women. A detailed 
interview with a sixteen years old was included and was horrible. My 
affluent white christian in-laws can't believe that their christian 
brethern can be involved in such abominal deeds. 
What amazes me is that at this time Muslims are being victimized by
christians, but nobody is calling them either fanatics or terrorists.
In fact, the European and US governments are not only shying from taking
any concrete actions, but they have clearly ruled out any armed action 
and/or war crime trials against Christian serbs thereby giving them 
freedom to anything they may wish. Only few months ago, we in the US 
drew the line in the sand claiming that AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND ...

I think it is past due that our Muslims countries which are ruled by the
puppets should be made to send aid to these war-stricken, unclothed,
malnourished and shelterless Bosnian muslims. So far only Iran has tried
to help Bosnians. Others such as Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Arabs are 
probably waiting for a "yes" nodd from their masters.
