The men, arrested in several locations across Serbia, stand accused of executing more than 1,000 Muslim Bosniaks at a warehouse just outside Srebrenica, some of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys killed in the area after it fell to Bosnian Serb forces n July 1995. "This is the first such case involving people directly suspected of taking part in the Srebrenica massacre," Bruno Vekaric, Serbia's deputy war crimes prosecutor, told Reuters.
