Austrian Justice Department is Investigating “Sniper Tours” in Sarajevo

More than three decades after the end of the brutal Bosnian War (1992–1995), the ghosts of the past are now catching up with Austria as well. As the Ministry of Justice in Vienna announced in response to a parliamentary inquiry, a local prosecutor’s office has been conducting an official investigation since April into an Austrian citizen and another, as yet unidentified accomplice. The egregious suspicion: participation in so-called “sniper tours” during the years-long siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo.
