SATELLITE PHOTOS OF SREBRENICA MASSACRE

Updated @ 10:42 AM

Following Miroslav Nenadic's and Munira Subasic's revelation that Serbian buses had been used to transport Bosniaks from Srebrenica to the execution sites in July 1995, we thought you may be interested in viewing some satellite photos showing the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in progress. According to Subasic, "there was Raketa Uzice, there was Belgrade-trans Strela Valjevo. Almost all of the buses were from Serbia, Montenegro, and the Republika Srpska.... This means everything was planned, everything was known in advance...Belgrade organized it." The satellite images (courtesy of the Hague Tribunal) also show buses that had been used to transport Bosniaks to their final destination - the massacre fields.

A Belgrade publicist, Zoran Janic, recently wrote and correctly observed that: "The German railways publicly apologized to the Jews because their trains were used for their transport to the concentration camps. What should we do in Serbia, half a century [after the Holocaust], where there has been no apology and we know that the buses with which Srebrenica [Bosniaks] were transported to the execution site were all from Serbia?"

Satellite Image 6: Aerial view of Branjevo Farm, excavation activity in late September 1995. Bosnian Serbs first buried the bodies of the Srebrenica massacre victims near the execution sites, but then dug out many of them with bulldozers and reburied remains in secondary mass graves in an attempt to hide the crime.

Srebrenica 1992-95 (quick facts) -- From 1992-1995 Serbs from heavily militarized villages around Srebrenica had forced thousands of Bosniak refugees to live in the Srebrenica ghetto with little or no means of survival. Serb Army stationed around Srebrenica never demilitarized, even though they were required to do so under the 1993 demilitarization agreements.

Furthermore, Serbs around Srebrenica constantly attacked neighbouring Bosniak villages, frequently bombarding them from air and with Serbian airplanes. More than 400 Bosnian Muslim villages were destroyed around Srebrenica in 1992. During the same year, Serbs killed at least 11,000 Bosniaks killed in Podrinje (region encompasing Srebrenica). All these crimes against Bosnian Muslim civilians took place three years before the Srebrenica genocide.

In July 1995 the Bosnian Serb army staged a brutal takeover of Srebrenica and its surrounding area, where they proceeded to perpetrate genocide. Bosnian Serb soldiers and paramilitary thugs, both groups commonly known as "Chetniks," separated Bosniak families, forcibly expelled 30,000 Bosniaks, and summarily executed at least 8,372 Bosnian Muslims - boys, men, and the elderly. Srebrenica genocide is remembered the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.
