Forensic experts exhumed 12 bodies from a mass grave believed to contain the remains of Bosnian Muslims summarily executed in the beginning of last decade's war. The grave was found just a few metres away from another mass grave, from which experts exhumed 50 bodies a week previously. The site was located in the Bosnian Serb town of Zvornik, some 80 kilometres northeast of Sarajevo. ``According to testimonies of survivors, the bodies could belong to Muslims from the Zvornik area, killed between April and June 1992,'' said Amor Masovic, head of the Muslim Commission for Missing Persons. Unlike most mass graves, where bodies were carelessly dumped into a pit, the remains were placed in body bags and lined up in rows. The body bags belonged to the former Yugoslav army, which fought on the Serb side during the conflict.
