SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) – Forensics experts unearthed the bodies of 51 Bosnian Muslims from a mass grave Friday believed to contain the remains of up to 300 people killed during the 1992-95 war.

The Bosnian Muslim Commission for the Search for Missing Persons found the bodies in the mass grave in Bratunac, about 55 miles northeast of Sarajevo, after nine days of exhumations, prosecutor Fatima Hadzibegovic said.

The remains were to be taken to a lab for DNA analysis in an attempt to identify them. The site is a so-called secondary grave, where bodies initially buried elsewhere were dumped.
