THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 9, SPA -- U.N. appeals judges on Wednesday reversed the conviction on charges of complicity in genocide of a Bosnian Serb army colonel whose troops were involved in the 1995 slaughter of more than 8,000 Muslim men in Srebrenica. In January 2005, Col. Vidoje Blagojevic, 56, received an18-year term. He was the wartime commander of the Bratunac brigade that took part in the worst post-World War II massacre in Europe by helping separate Muslim men from women and herding them into buses. A five-judge appeals panel at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal said Blagojevic should have been acquitted because the original trial chamber ruled that he did not know of the mass murders and only provided logistical support, the Associated Press reported.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/448162
