Croatians convicted of war crimes
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/04/1774.jpg
Two Croatian military leaders have been convicted of atrocities against Serbs during the break up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, after a trial at The Hague.
Judges sentenced Ante Gotovina to 24 years and Mladen Markac to 18 years in jail for crimes including murder, persecution and plunder.
The men helped to plan an operation to retake Croatia's Krajina region and force out all Serbs in 1995.
The Croatian government and public have reacted angrily to the verdict.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Zagreb says crowds who had gathered to watch the tribunal's hearing on big screens in the Croatian capital booed and hissed when the judge announced the guilty verdicts.
The men are regarded as heroes by many in Croatia.
The UN war crimes tribunal cleared a third defendant, Ivan Cermak, of all charges.
