Hague judges convict former Bosnian Croat leader of war crimes

Former Bosnian Croat leader Jadranko Prlic was convicted of war crimes committed in Bosnia and sentenced to 25 years in jail at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Hague on Wednesday.

ICTY judges said that Prlic's militia in the self-proclaimed ethnic Croat state of Herceg-Bosna were guilty of murder, rape and of illegal deportations of Muslims.

Prlic and five others were also held responsible for the destruction of the Ottoman-era Old Bridge at Mostar, whose shelling became a symbol of the ravages of the 1992-1995 Bosnian conflict during the break-up of Yugoslavia.
