“Alukic and his associates came of out of the woods on Mount Kozara to Kozarac village on August 29, 1992. When a car, driven by B.O. from Prijedor, passed by about five or ten minutes later, they fired several bullets and killed the driver. After that they set the vehicle on fire,” the indictment alleges.
