BANJA LUKA, Oct 15: Bosnian Serb authorities have admitted for the first time the full scale of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, but have yet to arrest a single suspect and analysts on Friday voiced doubts that the culprits will be brought to justice any time soon.

An investigative commission reported to the Bosnian Serb government on Thursday that more than 7,000 Muslims were slaughtered when Serb forces overran the eastern town of Srebrenica towards the end of Bosnia's 1992-95 war.

The report marks the first time authorities in the Serb-run Republika Srpska have acknowledged the true horror of the crime after years of denials. But analysts cautioned that the report did not mention the arrest of Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic or his former military commander, Ratko Mladic, the Balkans' most wanted fugitives. -AFP
