Bosnian
Serb cousins stand trial
July 09, 2008 7:01 AM
THE HAGUE, Netherlands-Two Bosnian Serb cousins are on trial for allegedly
murdering scores of Muslims in what a prosecutor describes as one of the
most successful campaigns of ethnic cleansing in the Bosnian war.
Prosecutors allege that Milan Lukic led a unit known as both the "White
Eagles" and "Avengers" in the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad during the
1992-1995 Bosnian war and that his cousin Sredoje Lukic was a member.
Both men have pleaded not guilty to charges including murder, extermination
and persecution. They face life sentences if convicted.
Prosecutor Dermot Groome said in his opening statement Wednesday that
the cousins took part in a campaign of ethnic cleansing that reached the
"peak of capricious cruelty."
