SARAJEVO, Oct 14: Bosnian police on Tuesday arrested four Bosnian Serbs suspected of taking part in a massacre of more than 200 Muslims and Croats early in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, the state prosecutor’s office said.

The mass killing in central Bosnia occurred on Aug 21, 1992, as part of an early wave of ethnic cleansing as rebel Bosnian Serb forces clashed with Bosnian Croats and Muslims during the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

Milorad Skrbic, Milorad Radakovic, Gordan Djuric and Ljubisa Cetic were arrested on charges of crimes against humanity in the area of the north-western town of Prijedor, the state prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“They are suspected of taking part in the execution on Mount Vlasic of more than 200 Muslim and Croat civilians who had been taken off the buses that transported them from a Prijedor area detention camp to the central town of Travnik,” it said.
