The operation in Tuzla was conducted with an aim to confiscate
documents of the Bosnian Army Second Corps. A spokesman for the SFOR
said SFOR soldiers supported the ICTY investigators at the request
of the Hague-based tribunal.
"The ICTY investigators were searching for information and
evidence on war crimes committed during the war in Bosnia," the SFOR
spokesman said.
During the war, some units of the Bosnian Army were deployed in the
wider Srebrenica region, where the army of Bosnian Serbs massacred
several thousand Muslim civilians in the summer of 1995.
According to media headlines, a part of the Bosniak units allegedly
attacked Serb villages in the Srebrenica region and killed more
than 200 Serb civilians in 1993 and 1994.
