Bosnian Serbs guilty: An international tribunal has found two Bosnian Serb commanders guilty of war crimes, including burning children alive, during the Bosnian civil war. Milan and Sredoje Lukic, who are cousins, were members of a paramilitary group that systematically attacked Bosnian Muslim civilians from 1992 to 1994. The two ordered about 130 women, children, and elderly men into two houses, which they set on fire, shooting everyone who tried to flee. “The perpetration by Milan Lukic and Sredoje Lukic of crimes in this case is characterized by a callous and vicious disregard for human life,” said Judge Patrick Robinson in his verdict: Milan, the ringleader, was sentenced to life in prison, while Sredoje got 30 years.
