LARGE MASS GRAVE DISCOVERED IN EASTERN BOSNIA

( Editorial: --> 6969 ) SARAJEVO, Oct 8 (Hina) - Investigators of the Bosnian state commission for tracing persons gone missing during the recent war on Thursday discovered near Zvornik one of the largest mass graves in the country believed to contain the bodies of at least 200 Muslims killed in 1992. According to a report of Television Bosnia-Herzegovina, the mass grave was discovered in Glumina, a village 10km west of Zvornik, a town in the Bosnian Serb entity in eastern Bosnia. Taking part in exhumations are also experts of the Doctors for Human Rights organisation. The bodies of 102 persons were discovered on the first day, but the head of the commission for the missing, Amor Masovic, believes the figure will reach 200. "We have reason to believe that we are working on the largest mass grave discovered so far", said Masovic. It is assumed the mass grave contains the remains of victims from Zvornik Municipality, he added. The remains are relatively well preserved and identification, to be carried out in Tuzla, is expected not to be too difficult. The exhumations were followed by representatives of the Bosnian Serb entity's commission for the missing and local police. (hina) ha 082151 MET oct 98
