The Srebrenica Massacre - Nova Srpska Politicka Misao

Summary and Conclusions
studied the autopsy reports that were available to the ICTY through the year
2002 (one year beyond the Krstic Judgment), and who concluded, as Jonathan
Rooper writes in his chapter, that the “number of actual sets of remains represented
by these reports totaled less than 2,000, and probably between 1,919 and
1,923” in all. See Ljubisa Simic, “Analysis of Srebrenica Forensic Reports Prepared
by ICTY Prosecution Experts,” and Simic, “Presentation and Interpretation
of Forensic Data (Pattern of Injury Breakdown),” in Karganovic, Ed.,

23 See above, George Bogdanich, Ch. 2, “Prelude to the Capture of Srebrenica.” As
Bogdanich notes, “British journalist Eve-Ann Prentice stated that while awaiting
the start of a scheduled appointment with Alija Izetbegovic around November,
1994, she witnessed an ‘Arabic looking’ man ushered in to see Izetbegovic before
her. One of the other journalists in her company at the time, Der Spiegel’s Renate
Flottau, later identified this man as Osama bin Laden” (n. 13).

General pursuant to General Assembly resolution 53/35, November 15, 1999,
. As this document reports:
“Some surviving members of the Srebrenica delegation have stated that President
Izetbegovic also told them [in 1993] he had learned that a NATO intervention
in Bosnia and Herzegovina was possible, but could only occur if the Serbs were
to break into Srebrenica, killing at least 5,000 of its people. President Izetbegovic
has flatly denied making such a statement” (para. 115). Also see above, George
Bogdanich, Ch. 7, “UN Report on Srebrenica—A Distorted Picture of Events.”
