Excavation of a suspected mass grave of victims from the Bosnian war began on 9 April as prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Serge Brammertz, arrived in the country for talks. In the town of Donji Vakuf, central Bosnia, digging began at a location which is believed to hold about 150 bodies. Despite bad weather which makes the terrain difficult to dig, the mechanical exaction was ordered to proceed by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The site was discovered 10 days ago following research by an investigator. It is believed that this location holds bodies of 147 Bosniaks, mostly from the town of Prijedor in north-west which suffered mass killings in the 1992-1995 war.
