**A MUSLIM witness in a war crimes trial pulled opened his shirt in court to prove Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic wrong.

            **                               Ahmet Zulic told the court he was arrested and thrown in prison as  part of a Serb clampdown on his village, in northwestern Bosnia, in June  1992.

He said that he was still haunted by nightmares of fellow Muslim prisoners dying beside him.

Mr Karadzic, who is defending himself against charges of genocide, accused Mr Zulic of lying, upon which Mr Zulic pulled open his shirt and pointed to his chest.
“Right here I have a cross carved in my skin. You can see the cross carved on my chest,” he said.

Mr Karadzic’s trial at the Hague had resumed today after a six-week delay.
Mr Zulic, 62, told the court he was held by Serb forces at two detention camps for five months, during which time he said he was severely beaten, starved and forced to witness the executions of fellow detainees.

     He lost 35kg in weight.

Answering Mr Karadzic with his eyes downcast, Mr Zulic told the court he had suffered permanent disabilities from having had seven vertebrae damaged, all his ribs fractured and a finger broken during the abuse.
He also has false teeth, having had his own knocked out when Serb soldiers put a gun in his mouth at a prisoner execution scene.
“I have nightmares very often,” the witness told the court.
“I very frequently dream of people who were killed beside me or were dying beside me. I had one last night.”
Mr Karadzic, 64, faces 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide charges arising from
Bosnia’s 1992-95 war in which 100,000 people were killed and 2.2 million left homeless.
He is charged as the supreme commander of a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” of Bosnian Muslims and Croats.

So what makes us Muslims in the west (UK, USA, Canada) even other non-Muslim countries like India (already seen it happened).. what makes us think that Bosnia won’t happen to us?! It only takes some sensationalism from the government to round us all up into camps. History speaks for itself. Don’t take this lightly.

Bosnia was a horrible horrible case of war crimes while NATO just stood there and watched the entire mess happen.

I am *ing pleased that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey started to arm the Bosnian Muslims so they could fight back against these ethnic cleansing ****s.

True, Bosnia was the wakeup, Kosovo was the response. Those butchering Serbs were nothing less than animals.

We need to make sure that Serbia never rises again - menace to the Balkans.

Serb army would have butchered Bosnians despite of the AK-47s smuggled in.

Serbs were bombed to stone age by Americans, and that's how they stopped.

It was dair ayad, but very very durust ayad.

We should give credit where credit is due.

Abay dumbass there was no NATO in Bosnia. It was the UN. Nato was in Kosovo. They did not bomb the serbs back to the stone age for Bosnia. They did it in 1999 for Kosovo. Bosnia was sorted out at the latest by 1996.
