A man who lost his legs and one arm to a Serb shell shaves in Kosevo Hospital, Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, February 1993.

MASSACRE AT A PLAYGROUND IN DOBRINJA
Listen, I went there, to the game, to see the game, of course. And I got there and I was standing there, all of us, there almost were 150 of us there watching the game. I had been standing there for less than five minutes. It happened at about nine thirty in the morning. Two shells fell out of the sky. The first shell wounded me. My leg was broken. Right about then I started to run away. But I couldn't. The second one fell behind my back. The second one fell about six , five or six meters from the first. So, when I stopped crawling I was conscious. I saw that the whole crowd gotten down on the ground. Panic, a rushing sound, and then the explosion.
