I wasn't there, he says: on May 6 when he allegedly pulled the trigger on the detainees, "I think I was attending a funeral in Montenegro for one of my poor dead 18-year-old soldiers." The enemy committed war crimes, not us, he says, slamming down fuzzy, undated photos that he claims show Serb men decapitated by Muslims and Serb bodies mutilated...
