Chicago Tribune: Former Bosnian Serb police officer Darko Mrdja pleaded guilty at the Hague war crimes tribunal on Thursday to involvement in the massacre of more than 200 non-Serb men on a cliff edge in Bosnia in 1992.

Mrdja, 36, confessed at a special hearing at the UN court to taking part in the shootings of at least 228 prisoners on Mt. Vlasic.

The Bosnian Muslim and Croat victims, who had been told they would be released in a prisoner exchange, were driven from a detention camp to woods by a ravine where they were forced to kneel to be shot at the edge of a cliff.

Prosecutors and the defense recommended a 15- to 20-year prison sentence after a plea deal. Mrdja is expected to be sentenced later this year.
