Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday held a ceremony to honor the 26 victims of the 1992 Ferhadija massacre in the capital Sarajevo.<\/p>\n
Relatives of the victims and politicians participated in the ceremony to mark the 30th anniversary of the massacre.<\/p>\n
Dozens of people laid wreaths and prayed at the monument built in memory of those who lost their lives.<\/p>\n
“During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, people were killed in a queue for water and bread, while children were killed while playing games," said Elvedin Okeric, head of the Sarajevo Cantonal Assembly.<\/p>\n
Abdulah Mustajbasic, one of 108 civilians who were injured in the attack, said that he lost his foot and had 17 surgeries after the attack.<\/p>\n
"There was an innocent 'world' there, but suddenly there was an explosion. I was hospitalized for 1 year," said Mustajbasic.<\/p>\n
On May 27, 1992, mortar shells fired from the Serb position on one of the busiest streets in the capital Sarajevo targeted civilians who were waiting in a queue for bread.<\/p>\n
At least 26 civilians lost their lives and 108 others in the attack.\/aa
