FUEL
JULY 16th, 1995
Fuel
This fuel, the prosecution argued, was necessary for the transport of Bosnian Muslim prisoners from Pilica to the execution site at Branjevo Military Farm. Records for July 16th 1995 confirm that 500 liters of diesel fuel was dispatched for Colonel Vujadin Popovic and the Drina Corps Command is listed as the recipient on this document. Mr. Richard Butler concluded from the timing of the executions and burial and the fact that the fuel was to be sent to Pilica village where the Pilica school is located, and that the fuel was most likely used for transporting the prisoners to the execution site at Branjevo Military Farm. The involvement of the Drina Corps Command on this issue is consistent with the fact that fuel was immensely scarce in Eastern Bosnia at this time. In the words of Mr. Butler, fuel was "liquid gold."
