New mass grave found near Srebrenica
Forensic experts in Bosnia have discovered a seventh mass grave in the eastern village of Kamenica.

They say it is believed to hold the remains of Muslim civilians murdered in the town of Srebrenica at the end of the Bosnian war in 1995.

A member of the Muslim Commission for Missing People said the victims had been reburied in Kamenica in an attempt to conceal evidence of the massacre.

So far, the remains of more than 5,000 victims have been exhumed.

The killing of more than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in 1995 was the largest case of mass murder of civilians in Europe since the end of World War II.
