Bosnian War atrocity / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In April 1996, the bodies of 181 Bosnian Serbs were exhumed from a mass grave in the village of Mrkonjić Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The victims, both soldiers and civilians, are presumed to have been executed by Croatian Army (HV) and Croatian Defence Council (HVO) forces upon their entry and subsequent withdrawal from the village in October 1995, during the late stages of the Bosnian War.
