ILACA - Croatian investigators yesterday dug up the remains of civilians killed in 1991 by the advancing Yugoslav army and said they expected to find some 100 bodies scattered in graves near several villages.
They began digging in three villages not far from the Danube river border with Yugoslavia and over the next few weeks will expand the investigation to several other places.
"The bodies we have found so far were mainly civilians killed in 1991 when the Yugoslav army entered villages near the border and carried out so-called `cleaning operations'," the chief pathologist, Dr Drinko Balicevic, said.
