From Times Wire Reports
The International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia sentenced a Bosnian Serb to 20 years in prison for turning on his Muslim and Croat neighbors in a deadly campaign of terror during Bosnia’s 3 1/2-year war. Dusan Tadic, 41, was convicted May 7 for beatings and killings committed in northwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992. He could have been sentenced to life in prison. Tribunal prosecutors welcomed the sentence--the first imposed by the war crimes court after a full trial--as “a significant step.”
