Dragan Crnogorac ARRESTED; Srebrenica Genocide Suspect Detained In Banja Luka

Dragan Crnogorac, a man accused of taking part in the worst mass killing in Europe since the Holocaust, has been arrested by Bosnian police, says the Canadian Press.

Crnogorac, 38, was reportedly arrested in the northwestern town of Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In a statement, the police reported, ""It is suspected Crnogorac, as a member of the Jahorina police training centre, which operated within the Bosnian Serb Republic interior ministry, personally took part in the executions of Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys who had been detained in Srebrenica," says Reuters.

In 1995, Bosnian Serb forces killed about 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys. The Srebenica massacre is also one of the indictments against Ratko Mladic, the fugitive Bosnian Serb Army Chief who, it was reported today by the Canadian Press, may be hiding outside of Serbia. The United Nations war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has sentenced 14 other Bosnian Serbs for the massacre.

finally this man has been arrested. now let's see him answer to the families of those he destroyed. life in prison without the possibility of parole is too good for him; however, i can live with it.

The Bosnian Serbs were not the only war criminals. Croats and Bosnian Muslims conducted equally horrible operations, from the ethnic cleansing of the Krajina region of Croatia by the Croats (assisted and facilitated by America) to the ethnic killings of Serbs near Srebrenica by Bosnian Muslim Nasir Oric, which triggered the slaughter at Srebrenica. Oric served two years in prison. TWO!

Yea and Hitler was justified in killing the Jews by your thinking. To say "they had it coming" or "they brought it on themselves" is sorry. Serbs are and always have been the Nazis of Europe. Serbia must be quarantined from the decent people of Europe. In all of history Serbia has produced one great mind and even he had to come to America to be recognized.

On The Road From Srebrenica
Words and Music by Tom Paxton

On the road from Srebrenica,
I saw a woman with two babies and one broken arm.
She could only carry one,
And one would have to stay behind to quickly die.
The gunmen shouted orders,
And the woman started moving down the road,
While the baby in the blanket,
Lying in the muddy ditch began to cry.

On the road, on the road from Srebrenica,
Blackbirds fly, blackbirds flying overhead,
Cry no mercy, on the road from Srebrenica,
Where there´s no one left alive to count the dead.

On the road from Srebrenica,
I saw the men all pulled aside and marched away.
While their women screamed in terror,
All the men went down the pathway to the trees.
The sound of guns was muffled by the forest,
But the shots went on and on,
While the soldiers pushed the women to keep moving,
And the rain began to freeze.

On the road, on the road from Srebrenica,
Blackbirds fly, blackbirds flying overhead,
Cry no mercy on the road from Srebrenica,
Where there´s no one left alive to count the dead.

On the road from Srebrenica,
Trudged an old men who was bent and stooped and frail.
It seemed all hope was gone,
I thought he´d never make a mile, but I was wrong.

He seemed to have no spirit,
Till he passed the ditch and heard the baby cry.
Then he picked the baby up,
And in the swirling smoke and flames, he moved along.

On the road, on the road from Srebrenica,
Blackbirds fly, blackbirds flying overhead,
Cry no mercy on the road from Srebrenica,
Where there´s no one left alive to count the dead.

I first heard this song on CBC Radio more than 10 years ago. I had to pull off the road because I was crying too hard to drive.

Good! and I hope the bigger criminals like Douglas Hurd the British Foriegn Sec at the time who was giving support to the Milosevic governments actions in Bosnia (and ended up working for a leading bank in Belgrade for a while) gets his turn....

All these war criminals need to face justice for that massacre, when they catch Mladic that will be a good day.
