FORENSICS REMOVE FLESH FROM THE TIBIA TO GET DNA-RICH BONE SAMPLE, 2002-03-08 (photo)

Izidor Skec (L) removes flesh from the remains of a human tibia under the supervision of Simun Andelinovic (C), doctor of forensics, in order to get a DNA-rich bone sample for the identification of the body found in one of the mass graves in the Croatian eastern province of Slavonia, Zagreb March 8, 2002. Over 600 victims of Serbian killings are being held in this specially converted underground shelter, since Croatia s morgues could not meet the capacity required for the identification process - and 1400 people are still unaccounted for. Slobodan Milosevic is currently on trial for war crimes and genocide, with charges including the events taken place in Croatia during the 1991-1995 Serbian-Croatian War. REUTERS/Hrvoje Polan HPO
