EXHUMATIONS CONTINUE AT KNIN CEMETERY

KNIN, April 26 (Hina) - The bodies of ten people killed in 1995's liberation operation Storm in the wider Knin region, southern Croatia, have been exhumed to date, Sibenik County Court investigating judge Sanibor Vuletin said on Thursday. The bodies have been found under marked crosses and were buried in plastic bags. The signs on the crosses are being compared to signs found on the bodies. According to Vuletin, the forensic examination will be done by investigators with UN's war crimes tribunal in The Hague. The persons' identity and cause of death will be established subsequently. Exhumations should take several weeks given the current pace and the number of Storm victims buried at the Knin cemetery, believed to be 253. Investigations are continuing on the part of the cemetery marked under "A". Yesterday pieces of clothing were discovered here, believed to have belonged to Italian soldiers killed during the first and second world wars. Two camouflage shirts and human bone remains were discovered here today, said Vuletin. (hina) ha sb
