Bosnia buries 284 war victims two decades on

Sunday, 20 July 2014


Thousands gathered on Sunday for a final farewell to 284 people killed in Bosnia's 1992-1995 war, after their remains were exhumed from one of the largest mass graves found in the country. β€˜I hope it will be easier now,’ said 48-year-old Suad Tatarevic, who came to bury some 40 family members lost to the mass killing, including his father and six brothers. β€˜At least I know where their graves are and can come to pray for them,’ he said as he knelt before the coffins of his loved ones, lined up with hundreds of others on a local playing field, according to AFP.
