An independent commission has reached an official death toll from the Bosnian war in the 1990's. The study from the Norwegian Research and Documentation Center in Sarajevo – called the “The Bosnian Book of the Dead” – has reached a figure of 97, 207, far less than United Nations estimates. UN estimates cite a figure of 110,000. Spokesmen from the group say the figure could raise as much as 10,000 due to ongoing research. 65% of those killed were Bosnian Muslims, 25% were Serbian, and roughly 10% were Croatian. The worst of those investigated was the massacre at Srebrenica – the UN safe zone – where some 8,000 Bosnian men and boys were murdered in July 1995.
