In the judgement against General Momcilo Perisic, wartime Chief of the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) said that more than 200 people were injured in two missile attacks on Zagreb in May 1995 and not a total of 100 as it was said at the sentencing hearing by the presiding judge, the ICTY said on Tuesday.
When reading out the summary of the judgement, presiding judge Bakone Moloto said on Tuesday that the tribunal established that on the first day of the attack on Zagreb, on 2 May 1995, 46 people were injured and the next day, 3 May 1995, another 54 people were wounded, while the text of the judgement, published subsequently, read that "more than 200 people" were injured, namely more than 146 on the first day and 54 on the second day of the attack.
The tribunal explained that wrong figures were given at the rendering of the judgment.
Earlier today that UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague sentenced Perisic to 27 years in prison for aiding and abetting the siege of Sarajevo and the murder of thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica, as well as for failure to punish his subordinates for missile attacks on Zagreb. He was acquitted of charges of aiding and abetting extermination as a crime against humanity in Srebrenica.
