Sure, tg. My point, which I didn't really clearly explain well was that the ICTY's logic doesn't make any sense at all.

Their story is that nearly all of the so called "executed" muslims gave themselves up a couple of days after the fall of the town, and they came from the second half of the column.

However, the ABiH have been telling everyone that their 28th division lost about 40% casualties on the breakthrough attempt.

( Note: I always use the term "breakout/ breakthrough" and not "fleeing" as nearly all Dhimmi press reports use. This was a highly organised military manoeuvre on behalf of the muslims that threatened the entire rear of the VRS lines and also Zvornik )

So how do the ICTY explain this 40% casualty rate IF they didn't give themselves up? Remember, it was the 2ND half of the column that was stranded and not the 28th division which made up the front of the column.

That's right, the only answer is the 28th Div lost their men through ambushes, infighting, mines, artillery, starvation, etc.

i.e. It was no war crime.

This 40% casualty rate should also be applied to the civilian section of the column ( in fact the civilian muslims suffered far worse than the Division in the ambushes, etc ).

Take 40% of the approximately 15,000 who made up the column an we come to about 6,000.

That means, the ICTY themselves account for nearly all the missing through legitimate deaths and not war crimes.

Even the ITCY's own reasoning shows that the missing were NOT killed by VRS in war crimes but died the kind of death found in any war.
