From Times Wire Reports

Almost 20 bodies have been unearthed from a mass grave in a village near Sarajevo, Bosnian officials said. The grave was discovered at the cemetery in Vlakovo, 10 miles west of Sarajevo, after the village reverted to Muslim-Croat control in March 1996 under the terms of a peace accord. Amor Masovic, an official of Bosnia’s Muslim-Croat Federation, said the bodies uncovered so far were men in civilian clothing who were probably killed at the onset of the country’s bloody 3 1/2-year war in 1992. He gave no details of the identities of the men or their religion, but said he believes the mass grave contains more bodies.
