10 Bosnian Serbs arrested for war crimes

Ten Bosnian Serb officials were arrested on Tuesday by Bosnian police for alleged war crimes committed between 1992 and 1995.

The officials, all senior military and police personnel, are accused of "planning, leading and participating" in the killing of 67 Muslim civilians, including women and children, in 1992 in the Bosnian village of Lokanj, reports VoA.

Recent months have seen a steady number of arrests of former Bosnian Serb officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Earlier this month, police arrested 15 former officials for war crimes. The accused were alleged to have killed 19 people during an attack on a train in the town of Strpci, near the Serbian border during the war. 

In November, Bosnian authorities have arrested 12 men suspected of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, for their role in an attack on a Bosnian village that killed at least 150 Muslims in 1992.
