The Hague: Former
Bosnian Serb army general Zdravko Tolimir was sentenced to life
imprisonment Wednesday at the International Criminal Tribunal for
the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
According to the tribunal, Tolimir,64, was convicted for genocide,
crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in 1995 after the
fall of the UN protected Bosnian Muslim enclaves of Srebrenica and
Zepa.
He was assistant commander and chief of intelligence and security
of the Bosnian Serb Army during the Bosnian war and referred by
witnesses as commander Ratko Mladic' "right-hand man and eyes and
ears".
In July 1995, the UN enclave of Srebrenica fell into the hands of
Mladic and his troops. After the fall over 7,000 Bosnian Muslim
men and boys were reportedly killed.
Tolimir was indicted in 2005 and arrested in May 2007. His trial
started on Feb. 26, 2010.
