BELGRADE, Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Five Serb paramilitaries went on trial on Tuesday for their alleged killing of six Bosnian Muslims during the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

    It was the first trial held in Serbia over the July 1995 massacre of around 8,000 Muslim males in Bosnia's wartime enclave of Srebrenica.

    The five were arrested after shock images of the killing of the bound and terrified captives were broadcast on Serbian television in June.

    The video showed armed members of the Scorpions paramilitary group shooting the unarmed young men, whose wrists tied behind their backs with wire, in a woodland clearing.

    "The war crimes prosecutors' office has a lot of evidence which will be used to try to convince the court that a really terrible crime happened there," said spokesman Bruno Vekaric.

    A sixth Scorpion identified in the video is already on trial in Croatia, while Bosnia has charged 11 others with the murders of more than 1,000 Bosnian Muslim men in a warehouse near Srebrenica. Enditem
