Men and boys over age 12 were taken away. along with many young women. Most have not been seen since. Most alarmingly. a group of refugees fleeing Srebrenica on foot through the woods encountered a group of Serb soldiers wearing the uniforms and blue helmets of UNPROFOR troops and using U.N. vehicles. One Serb soldier called out on a megaphone for the Bosnians to come out of the woods. Between 20 and 30 Bosnians. mostly women and children. emerged from hiding. The Serb soldiers lined them up on the road. and opened fire with machine guns. killing them all. None of these reports has been independently confirmed. but based on the facts available. these stories are compelling. believable. and consistent with documented Serb behavior. There have also been many instances of refugees telling identical stories independently. Mr. President.
