• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

NEW: Italian prosecutors have launched an investigation into allegations that wealthy people from Western countries paid upward of $90,000 for "sniper safaris" where they would shoot civilians.

The complaint was filed by journalist Ezio Gavazzeni.

Gavazzeni claims the "sniper tourists" would go on trips to Sarajevo and pay Bosnian Serb forces to kill men, women, and children in the 1990s.

There was allegedly an extra fee to shoot children.

"There were Germans, French, English … people from all Western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians," Gavazzeni said.

"There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa."

Gavazzeni heard about the reports from Italian media outlets in the 1990s but dug deeper after watching a documentary in 2022.

The investigative reporter says his key source is a former Bosnian intel officer.

"We are impatient to discover the truth about such a cruel matter in order to close a chapter of history. I am in possession of certain information I will be sharing with the investigators," said a spokesperson for the Bosnian Consulate in Milan.

Horrific if true.
