Forensic experts begun work to open what is believed to be the largest mass grave ever found in Bosnia. The grave is thought to contain the remains of up to 700 Muslim men and boys -- many of them killed after the fall of the town of Srebrenica to Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995. Information about the site in an area known as Crni Vrh (Black Peak) was provided by the United Nations (UN) war crimes tribunal in The Hague. "We believe the grave contains several hundred bodies of 1995 Srebrenica massacre victims and those of Zvornik civilians killed at the start of the war," Murat Hurtic, member of the Bosnian Muslim commission for missing people said. If the grave indeed holds about 700 people it would be twice as large as any other mass grave found in Bosnia. There are still around 20,000 people missing from the Bosnian war.
