Wartime Bosnian commander gets 10 yrs for murder of 4 fleeing Croat Serb rebels

Autor: mses
SARAJEVO, Jan 21 (Hina) - A wartime senior officer of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sefik Alic, was sentenced to ten years for war crimes committed against four captured Serb rebels from Croatia, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina reported on Friday.

Alic, a former deputy commander of a battalion operating under the Bosnian Army's Fifth Corps, was found guilty of failing to prevent Al Harbi Tewfik, whom the judgement describes as an "non-regular soldier", from executing four Serb insurgents who were arrested during the Croatian liberation operation Storm in August 1995.

Alic, who was responsible for the safety of prisoners, did nothing to prevent the four men's torture and murder.

The soldier named Al Harbi Tewfik, who was under Alic's command, killed those Serbs who were captured while fleeing Croatia.

In his first trial Alic was acquitted, but the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina quashed the acquittal and found him guilty of war crimes in a retrial.

The Fifth Corps operated in western Bosnia, close to the Croatian border.
