Funerals held for 31 Muslim victims of Bosnia war

Thousands are attending funerals being held for 31 Muslim Bosniak civilians who were killed in Serb attacks during the 1992-95 war and buried in mass graves.

The victims were among the Muslim Bosniak population living in the northeast Bosnian town of Bratunac when it was overrun by Serb forces at the start of the war.

Some 603 of the town's residents were listed as missing after the attack, as many were killed or were forced to flee.

The remains of 203 people have been found so far, including the 31 being reburied Wednesday. Among them are the bodies of a 4-year-old girl and an 84-year-old woman.

The bodies have been identified mainly through DNA analysis.

More than 100,000 people died in Bosnia's bloody war.
