The war in Bosnia lasted for three years, from 1992-1995. It was ended by the Dayton Agreement in November of 1995.

So no, they're not still killing each other in Bosnia. Not for the past eleven years.

Really.

I can’t tell if you’re deliberately trying to cloud the issue to cover the uninformed statement you made before, or if you just didn’t read past the headline and don’t actually know what the article that you’ve linked to is about.

You’ve linked to an article about a political crisis in the Bosnian government. Earlier, you said,


Did you know they are still killing each other in Boznia? How long has that gone on now.

And then to support that wildly inaccurate assertion, you link to a New York Times story that doesn’t actually report anyone being killed. So you’re equating this:

“On Aug. 11, a bomb severely damaged the tomb of Alija Izetbegovic, the former Bosnian president. Last week in eastern Bosnia, a group of Muslims forced their way into a Serbian church built on the former site of a mosque. And the broadcast of a videotape showing the wartime killing of an unarmed Bosnian Serb by Muslims prompted calls for a senior Bosnian general to be tried on war crimes charges.
“Those incidents have been accompanied by a sharp increase in the expression of nationalist sentiments that is worrying international officials here as the country prepares for parliamentary and presidential elections on Oct. 1.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/27/world/europe/27bosnia.html

With this:

“A suicide car bomber attacked Iraq’s largest newspaper on Sunday, detonating his vehicle inside its fortified compound in downtown Baghdad and killing two people and injuring 20 others, the executive editor and government officials said.
“The bombing was part of a violent day across Iraq in which explosions and gun battles killed at least 52 people, including an American soldier.
“In Baghdad, a bomb planted in a commuter bus blew up near the pedestrian entrance of a downtown hotel, killing nine people and wounding 20 others, and a convoy ferrying a deputy defense minister came under heavy gunfire that wounded two bodyguards, two government officials said.”

I really don’t understand why you brought up Bosnia in the first place. Truthfully, were you really just unaware that the war in Bosnia has been over for 11 years? Are you just compelled to make up nonsense?

Another relevant passage from the New York Times article that you didn’t read:

“After almost 11 years of efforts to rebuild and stabilize Bosnia, the diplomats and international officials involved say that the country runs little risk of a resurgence of the level of conflict that claimed tens of thousands of lives from 1992 to 1995. But they say the tensions could prompt some violence, and worse, could threaten to unravel the long complex process aimed at making Bosnia a cohesive state that can operate without foreign intervention.”
