من ويكيبيديا، الموسوعة الحرة
The Srebrenica massacre was the July 1995 killing of up to 8,373 Bosniak males, ranging in age from teenagers to the elderly, in the region of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Bosnian Serb Army under the command of general Ratko Mladić. In addition to the Bosnian Serb Army, special forces from Serbia known as the "Scorpions" participated in the massacre. The massacre included several instances where preteen children and women were killed.
The Srebrenica massacre is the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II and considered by many as one of the most horrific events in recent European history. It is the first legally established case of genocide in Europe after the Holocaust.
According to International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) by seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosniaks, the Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the 40,000 Bosniaks living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosniaks in general.
