In around 1998, I played soccer on a team in PEI made up in large part of Bosnian refugees, many of the guys having been soldiers and suffering from knee problems from the concentration camps they had been held in at one point or another. News like this from Srebrenica always makes me pause.
Forensic teams have been uncovering mass graves throughout Bosnia in recent years, collecting the remains and extracting DNA to be matched with family members. Once a match is found, the body is returned to the family for burial. Of the 3,500 bodies of Srebrenica victims excavated so far, 2,500 have been identified through DNA and some 2,000 buried in a cemetery in the Srebrenica suburb of Potocari, where the victims last were seen alive before being rounded up by Serb soldiers and taken for execution.
