Serb general jailed for war crimes
A Bosnian Serb general has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, for commanding a deliberate two-year campaign of terror against civilians during the blockade of Sarajevo. The general, Stanislav Galic, rained sniper fire and shells on the Muslim sector of the city that killed hundreds of people and wounded thousands, the conviction said. By a two-to-one decision on Friday, the United Nations war crimes tribunal said Galic, 60, ordered his troops to fire on civilians while they were shopping, tending gardens, fetching water from the river or going about their daily lives.

It was the first decision at the UN court for the former Yugoslavia dealing exclusively with the siege of Sarajevo during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war that brought the world images of "Sniper Alley" and corpses of children killed by shells while playing in the snow.
