Italy investigates claim that tourists paid to go to Bosnia to kill civilians in 1990s

However, members of the British forces who served in Sarajevo in the 1990s have told the BBC that they never heard of any so-called "sniper tourism" during the Bosnian conflict.

They indicated that any attempts to bring in people from third countries who had paid to shoot at civilians in Sarajevo would have been "logistically difficult to accomplish", due to the proliferation of checkpoints.

British forces served both inside Sarajevo and in the areas surrounding the city, where Serb forces were stationed and they saw nothing at the time to suggest that "sniper tourism" was taking place.

One soldier described the allegations that foreigners had paid to shoot at civilians as an "urban myth".

They should probably open with this. Especially since these days most people only read headlines

X_x wow this is too ugly wtf.

Yeah, checkpoints can stop everything. /s

They stopped current Serbian president from walking on Pale with sniper rifle, for example.

Brits are dumb idiots. Half of the current world problems are their legacy.
