The seven men, later identified as Ahmo and Enver Harbas,
Behudin Husic, Nedzad Hasic, Vahdet Avdic, Mujo Mehic, and Muharem
Hasanovic, surrendered to U.S. IFOR troops near Zvornik on Friday.
IFOR Spokesman in Sarajevo Major Simon Haselock said that the
men had been wearing uniforms of unknown origin and that they had
been handed over to the Bosnian Serb police because they had been
armed.
Allegedly, two pistols, five hand grenades, ammunition and
explosives had been found on their persons.
All seven of the men were from Srebrenica, but Haselock
discarded the possibility that they had attempted to leave Serb
territory after the fall of the enclave last July.
Their physical appearance and clothes did not point to that
possibility, Haselock said.
Bosnian Army Second Corps representatives in Tuzla told IFOR
and International Police officials that the seven men were not
members of regular army corps.
