Forensics Experts Work On Exhuming And Identifying Srebrenica Victims

BUDAK, BOSNIA - HERZEGOVINA - JULY 12: International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) forensic archaeologist, Renee Kosalka from Canada provides works on an excavation at the Budak mass grave in the Srebrenica Municipality on July 12, 2005 in Bosnia Herzegovina. The site is a secondary grave site - 600 victims were killed and buried in a primary location and later 100 of them were transferred to this secondary grave. The mortal remains at this site were allegedly moved to be buried here from sites at Glogova with heavy machinery and ballistic and blast damage caused by grenades was observed on many of the remains. The team makes an electronic survey of all items found and maps and records the grave formation. Records of the remains being recovered are transferred along with the remains to the ICMP mortuary facility as an aid to identification. Some 8,000 Muslims, mostly boys and men, were slaughtered at Srebrenica in July 1995 by Bosnian Serb soldiers. Of those 8,000 only 2,000 have been identified and buried. 25,753 individual missing person samples have been collected in Former Yugoslavia. (Photo by Marco Di Lauro/Getty Images)
