SARAJEVO, July 17 (Reuters) - Bosnia's war crimes court jailed
a Bosnian Muslim for 30 years on Tuesday for crimes committed
against Serbs early in the 1992-95 war, the longest such
sentence given to a Muslim paramilitary.

Niset Ramic was found guilty of murdering four Serb civilians in
a village near the central Bosnian town of Visoko, the court said
in a statement.

Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croats fought each other in the bitter
three-year war, and each side committed war crimes.

Senior perpetrators are tried at the United Nations war crimes
tribunal in The Hague and less significant figures by local courts.
