Serbia arrests seven over 1995 Srebrenica massacre

Serbian police have arrested seven men accused of taking part in the slaughter of over one thousand Muslims at a warehouse on the outskirts of Srebrenica.

Serbian and Bosnian prosecutors say they are among the first to be arrested by Serbia for carrying out the Srebrenica massacre in July, 1995.

Serbia has previously detained men not directly involved in the killings.

In 2011, it handed over warlord Ratko Mladic, accused of masterminding the slaughter, to an international court.  He is currently being tried in The Hague.
