November 11, 2013 “Sarajevo Mortar Shells ‘Fired From Serb Positions’” Justice Report, BIRN British officer and ballistics expert Richard Higgs told Mladic’s trial last week that he had reviewed several police and UN Protection Force investigations into the deadly attacks on Sarajevo’s Markale market in 1994 and 1995, and had concluded that the shells were launched from Bosnian Serb territory. Prosecution witness Higgs said that the reports he had studied indicated that the mortars were fired from Bosnian Serb Army positions on February 5, 1994, when 66 people were killed and more than 140 wounded, and on August 28, 1995, when 43 people were killed and more than 75 wounded. Mladic is being tried for terrorising civilians in Sarajevo with a lengthy shelling and sniping campaign. He is also accused of genocide in Srebrenica, the persecution of Bosniaks and Croats throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, which reached the scale of genocide in seven municipalities, and taking UN peacekeepers hostage. balkaninsight/en/article/sarajevo-attacks-devised-to-cause-most-victims-expert-says?utm_source=Balkan+Transitional+Justice+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=63831ad418-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_561b9a25c3-63831ad418-319681277
