[1] Jelisić called himself the "Serb Adolf Hitler"[2] and admitted that his "motivation and goal was to kill Muslims".

[5] It was located on the most important arterial road near Brčko in north Bosnia, which connected the two parts of Republika Srpska.

Others submitted similar testimony regarding Jelisić's acts to safeguard and help Bosniaks and non-Bosniaks friends before and during the war.

[5] On 22 January 1998, Jelisić was apprehended in Serb-dominated Bijeljina by Task Force Razorback—a joint CIA–DOD unit attached to Operation Amber Star.

The Navy SEAL team which executed the arrest was led by Ryan Zinke, who would later be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

[9] After his capture, Jelisić was transferred to a U.S. base at Tuzla, taken into custody by an FBI Special Agent and flown to The Hague.

The operation occurred during a week in which human rights groups were pressuring the Clinton administration to use U.S. troops to help detain some of the dozens of war criminals still at large.

[1] A specific instance of this type of allegation is that Jelisić beat an elderly Bosniak man to death with a metal pipe, a shovel, and a wooden stick.

[5] In 2001, the prosecution requested a retrial on Jelisić's dismissed charge of genocide, but an appeals court upheld his 40-year sentence.

The photographs of the execution of two Bosniaks, Hajrudin Muzurović and Husein Kršo in that location on May 7, 1992, testified to the war crimes and ethnic cleansing of Brčko.
