Bosnia’s Missing Persons Institute says it has reason to believe that the bodies of more individuals killed during the civil war could be found at the Kazani pit near Sarajevo, where a number of bodies have already been uncovered. The MPI has asked the BiH Prosecutor’s office to launch a new exhumation effort.
“According to our operational knowledge, as well as witness statements and what was established in certain court proceedings, it is known that there are certain number of people who have been tortured, killed and dumped in the pit in Kazani,” said a member of the institute’s board of directors, Milutin Misic….
The victims at Kazani are believed to have been killed by Bosnian Army troops led by notorious commander Musan Topalovic, alias Caco, who was himself killed in October 1993 and buried in a secret grave, but later exhumed and given a hero’s burial in Sarajevo.
