Serb Officials Convicted Over 1995 Massacre

Netherlands: Seven former high-ranking Bosnian Serb military and police officials were convicted Thursday for their roles in the notorious 1995 Srebrenica massacre. The men were found guilty of a range of crimes including genocide, extermination, murder, and persecution.
