Some typical examples of massacres of Bosnian-Serbs by units of the Croatian
Army in B&H and the Bosnian Territorial Defence

KUPRES 	 -   In the town of Kupres, by the beginning of April, 52 Bosnian-Serbs
	     had been murdered. The principle methods of execution and 
	     mutilation were the severing of head or the extraction of the 
	     brains of living victims.  In additon mallets were often used to 
	     smash skulls.

	     Prior to deat it was common practice to gouge out eyes, cut off
	     ears and break both arms and legs of victims.

	     An unidentified number of Bosnian-Serbs were murdered around the
	     village of Gornji Malovan near Kupres.  The corpses were buried in
	     a mass grave on Borova Glava.  We are now in possession of proof,
	     in the form of photographs, video tapes and tape recordings which
	     can be produced.


BRATUNAC  -  On 21 May 1992, in V. Derventa, a Moslem TD unit under the command
	     of Hedib Sulejmanovic massacred Bosnian-Serbs from the village.
	     They slaughtered 31 people, mainly old age pensioners, women and
	     children.  This Bosnian-Serb village was then burned to the 
	     ground.


GORAZDE  -   In the village of Vukasinovici a Moslem TD unit under the command
	     of Suad Hamzic slaughtered 8 Bosnian-Serbs: Veljko Vukasinovic 
	     (72), his wife Danien Vukasinovic (60), Vukasin Vukasinovic (90),
	     his wife Boza Vukasinovic (75), Milorad Vukasinovic (78), and
	     Grozda Vukasinovic (56) the wife of the only survivor Perko
	     Vukasinovic.  Following the killings, the assassins who also
	     included Ferid Aganovic and Ibro Salispahic, burned the family
	     homes together with the corpses.


LELECI   -   The night after the Vukasinovici killings the same team 
	     slaughtered 9 Bosnian-Serbs in the small village of Leleci and
	     burned their homes.

MOSTAR   -   On 26 May 1992 units of the Croatian ARmy attacked the Bosnian-
	     Serb villages of Raska Gora and Bogodol on the outskirts of 
	     Mostar.  Here they slaughtered 200 Bosnian-Serbs and burned 
	     down the village.

CEMERNICA -  On 2 June 1992, units of the Moslem TD from Olovo and Kladanj 
	     killed 32 Bosnian-Serbs in the village of Cermernica.  These
	     included seven from both the Trifkovic and Bunjevac families, six
	     from the Petrovic family and twelve members of the Damjanovic 
	     family.

             One young man was burned alive in a stable before the entire
	     village was ignited.

	     Only one young woman escaped, but needed to be detained in
	     hospital for 20 days and has subsequently had a complete
	     nervous break-down.

	     She was able to describe the way in which the villagers were first
	     executed and then their bodies were mutilated with axes, picks and
	     shovels.

CRKVINE  -   On 15 June 1992 units of the Moslem TD attacked the following
	     villages: Crkvinje, Opaci, Orahovica, Bibici, Biogor, Turija, 
	     Podrid, Postolje, Drasnica, Crni Vrh, Karno, Grubanovici, 
	     Jasenova, Spat and Cicevci i Bukova Glava.  All these villages 
	     were plundered and the entire population massacred.  All the
	     houses were set light and burned to the ground.

	     The same unit then attacked Bosnian-Serbs in Pribicevac whilst
	     they were attending a funeral.  Most of those were old women
	     and children.  The total death toll amounts to more than 400.

SREBRENICA - On 21 June 1992, Moslem extremists attacked the remaining five
	     Bosnian-Serb villages around Srebrenica: Dvorista, Ducici,
	     Polimac, Gornji Ratkovici, and Donji Ratkovici.  In those 
	     villages not a single Bosnian-Serb was left living and all the 
	     village buildings and houses were destroyed by fire.

ZITOMISLICI  
MONASTERY -  During the last ten days, the Croatian Army in Hercegovina has
	     burned down the Serbian-Orthodox monastery of Zitomislici and 14
	     more Orthodox churches in the Neretva valley, whilst at the same
	     time they slaughtered all the villagers of Prebilovci and burned
	     down the entire village.

The data on the aggression of the Republic of Croatia against Bosnia & 
Hercegovina is not yet complete and is very difficult to comiple due to the
ever increasing flood of new Croatian Battle units flowing across the border
into Bosnia & Hercegovina.

The area of Bosanska Posavian and Hercegovina are particularly heavily 
occupied and it is our fear that it is in these areas that the genocide is the
greatest.

There is an abudndance of documentation on aggression by the Republic of 
Croatia against Bosnian and Hercegovina and the ongoing genocide.  The blockade
placed on Yugoslavia makes it very difficult for us to reproduce this material,
however it is available for the world to inspect and check.
