Bosnian police on September 12 arrested five people suspected of participating in the July 1995 genocide in Srebrenica, a town where Bosnian Serb troops killed over 8,000 men and boys during the Balkan country's interethnic war. Officers also conducted searches and confiscations during their operation in several towns in Republika Srpska, a Serb-run entity comprising roughly one-half of Bosnia's territory, said a statement by Bosnia's State Investigation and Protection Agency. The statement gave no other details. Bosnian news portal Klix said the people arrested were former Bosnian Serb army officers and soldiers. To see the original story by AP, click here.
