DescriptionSARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Shaken and in tears, Nura Alispahic said Friday she turned on the TV to watch the news — then saw a gruesome video of the shooting deaths of her teenage son, Azmir, and five other Muslims from Srebrenica by Serb forces in July 1995.

"I saw with my own eyes when these animals killed my son. He was only 16 1/2. No one can understand how I feel," she told The Associated Press.

Bosnian television broadcast the amateur video, apparently made by Serb troops, on its late-evening news Wednesday.

It showed six Muslim civilians taken from a truck with their hands tied behind their backs, with paramilitary forces yelling "Yalla! Yalla!" — a term used by Bosnian farmers to herd livestock.
