(ANSA-AFP) - SARAJEVO, FEB 28 - Police in Bosnia said
Thursday eight people have been arrested for involvement in
suspected human trafficking, after 31 children were rescued
during a raid. Police said the children were found in an
operation at an undisclosed location in the northeastern
district of Brcko this week. After arresting three people
initially, police said five more suspects alleged to have
participated in child trafficking were taken into custody,
according to a statement. Bosnian police said they were working
with European the law enforcement agency Europol on the case.
According to local media, the children were being held in a
facility described as a "house of horrors" in Brcko, where
babies under one year of age were among those found. Police in
neighbouring Croatia said six of the children had Croatian
papers, which authorities were working to verify. The children
had not been reported missing in Croatia, police said.
