The Seattle Times is reporting that an Everett man suspected of war crimes during the Balkan War in 1993 has agreed to be sent back to Bosnia and Herzegovina to stand trial. Here’s an excerpt from The Seattle Times…
Edin Dzeko, 39, appeared briefly before U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue in U.S. District Court in Seattle and acknowledged his identity. He agreed to be extradited for trial.

Dzeko, a naturalized U.S. citizen, is accused in extradition documents of being a senior member of a unit that attacked the village of Trusina in April 1993, killing 16 civilians and at least four soldiers who had been disarmed, according to news reports at the time and a release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
