SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnian authorities say the United States has extradited a Muslim Bosnian woman accused of killing Bosnian Croat civilians during the 1990s conflict in the region.
The prosecutor’s office said Tuesday that Rasema Handanovic, 38, has arrived in Bosnia and will appear in front of judges Wednesday.
Handanovic was extradited a week after the U.S. handed over her comrade Edin Dzeko, who is accused of taking part in the same killings.
Both are alleged to have belonged to a Bosnian Army unit that attacked the southern Bosnian Croat village of Trusina in 1993, killing 18 civilians. Witnesses say she personally shot some victims in the head.
Handanovic had been living in Beaverton, Oregon, and was arrested in April at the request of Bosnian authorities.
