SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Five bodies have been unearthed from what is believed could be a mass grave near the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo.
The five, whose remains were unearthed on Tuesday, are thought to have been Bosnian Muslims killed in 1992-95 during the Bosnian War.
Two of the bodies were the remains of women and three were of men, Lejla Cengic, a spokeswoman for the Missing Persons Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina, told Anadolu Agency.
"The exhumation will continue on Wednesday and be carried out with machines and manually. After wider searches, we will look for more bodies," said Cengic.
DNA tests will be carried out on the remains, which will then be transported to a memorial service center in Visoko city for identification.
Bosnian families are still searching for 8,000 persons missing since the Bosnian War.
