GLINA, August 9 (Hina) - The bodies of four identified and four unidentified Croats, massacred and killed by Serb rebels and members of the then Yugoslav People's Army in October 1991, were buried on Thursday in one grave in Glinsko Novo Selo village near Glina, about 75 km south of Zagreb. According to villager Vlado Skrinjaric, the Serb rebels killed 33 Croats during the autumn of 1991, mainly unarmed and innocent elder civilians, but also a 15-year-old girl, Katica Simanovic. Their graves had still not been discovered, Skrinjaric said, adding that only ten bodies had been exhumed and buried so far. Matija Herman, member of the Glina Municipal Authority, pointed out that Glinsko Novo Selo had the biggest number of victims in the Glina and Banovina area during the war. A monument with a big cross bearing the names of the killed Croats was erected in memory of the victims at the village cemetery. (hina) ha 091109 MET aug 96
