58 Bodies Reported Found in Cave, Graves

From Times Wire Reports

The remains of 58 people, believed to be non-Serbian civilians, have been exhumed from a cave in northwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina and at a site near Sarajevo, the capital, said Amor Masovic, the head of the Muslim-Croat Commission for Missing Persons. The remains of 41 victims, most of them presumed to have been killed in a Serbian prison camp during the 1992-95 Bosnian war, were retrieved from the cave near the town of Bosanska Krupa, about 130 miles northwest of Sarajevo. Masovic said the cave--whose bottom he said was filled at least a yard deep with human bones and other remains--might contain more than 50 bodies. Meanwhile, 17 additional bodies were found in graves in Miljevici in the Serbian part of Sarajevo, Masovic said.
