Bosnians to bury 520 Srebrenica genocide victims

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — On the 17th anniversary of Europe's worst massacre since World War II, Muslims in Bosnia are heading to Srebrenica to attend a funeral for 520 newly identified victims.

The remains of those Muslim men and boys slaughtered at Srebrenica around July 11, 1995, will be laid to rest Wednesday in the town whose name is now synonymous with genocide. The coffins are already at the memorial center and the burial pits have been dug.

Ambulances were also standing ready to help those among the tens of thousands for whom the event will be too much to handle.
