BOSNIAN WEEKLY:PROBE INTO KILLINGS OF CROAT VILLAGERS NOT OVER

SARAJEVO, April 13 (Hina) - The International War Crimes Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has not yet issued indictments against responsible for the murder of Croatian civilians in the southern villages of Grabovica and Uzdol, Bosnia-Herzegovina, as an investigation is not still over into the liability according to the commanding chain which may lead to the Bosniak (Moslem) military and political leadership, read an article in the Bosnian weekly "Slobodna Bosna". The weekly cited its sources close to the Hague-based Tribunal as saying that the case of disappearance of a about score of Croats from the central Bosnian town of Bugojno in 1993 has been much clearer and it is certain that an indictment will be issued against a local leader of the (Moslem) SDA party, Dzevad Mlaco, for this case. The evidence material relating to the crimes in Grabovica and Uzdol, which Sarajevo cantonal prosecutors have forwarded to the ICTY, contained data about possible direct perpetrators and individuals in the first link of the commanding chain, read the Thursday's issue of the Sarajevo newspaper. Local prosecutors cited names of commanders of units whose members allegedly committed crimes against Croat villagers. Those are Ramiz Delalic and Zulfikar Alispago. The ICTY Prosecution, led by chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte, however, directed the probe further towards the top command including Generals Rasim Delic and Sefer Halilovic. (hina) mm ms
