Default A Bloody Sunday for the concentration camps


Well, to be fair, the brits didn't fire missiles into the
crowd and outrage lasted 30 years. In this case it'll be
forgotten in a week.

It's just hard to see how there hasn't been emergency security
council meetings and plans of war crimes tribunals at the news:

Serbian troops on a raid in southern Bosnia have called for a mass
surrender of male residents in part of the Rafac refugee camp.
Reports say army loudspeakers told males aged 16 or over in the Tec
Sultac area to gather at a local school or risk demolition of their
family homes.

Officials are quoted as saying they were after militants, not all
males. Troops stormed the camp on Tuesday, killing 20 people and
confining residents without electrity or water.

Thousands of residents are reported to have emerged from their homes
in response to the call, and walked to the school carrying white flags
ahead of Serbian tanks. Firing by the Serbian troops continued as the
residents gave themselves up, family members said, quoted by Reuters
news agency.

Witnesses said a Serbian helicopter and tank fired at demonstrators
marching down the main street of Rafac towards the Tec Sultac area of
the nearby refugee camp where the Serb raids have been concentrated
in the last two days.
