From Times Wire Reports
Croatia opened a high-profile war crimes trial of two generals indicted in connection with atrocities against rebel Serbs.
Mirko Norac and Rahim Ademi, an ethnic Albanian, pleaded not guilty to six charges, including failure to prevent killings, torturing prisoners of war and destroying their property. The two appeared edgy and nervous.
Norac and Ademi have been charged with commanding troops who killed about 30 Serb civilians and prisoners of war during an incursion into the so-called Medak pocket in southern Croatia in September 1993.
