Serb Found Guilty, but Not of Genocide

A U.N. war crimes tribunal acquitted a Bosnian Serb of genocide but convicted him on 31 other counts of torture and murder to which he confessed. Goran Jelisic, 31, called himself the “Serb Adolf” and confessed to killing at least 12 Croatian and Muslim prisoners during the Bosnian war. But a three-judge international panel concluded that there was insufficient proof that Jelisic carried out a genocidal campaign at the Luka prison camp in northern Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992. The former mechanic faces multiple life terms and will be sentenced at a time yet to be announced.
