The prosecution began its rebuttal case calling six witnesses -- three who have previously testified and three who are new.

All the witnesses offered testimony that cast unflattering light on defense witnesses.

The witnesses who previously testified:

• Sakib Sivac -- a survivor of the Keraterm prison camp who originally testified July 31. He was called to discredit defense witness "W," whom he said he saw at the camp wearing a uniform and armed. Sivac said he saw "W" curse at the Muslim inmates. "W" testified Sept. 18 and 19 in a closed session . Transcripts have not been released.

• Jusuf Arifagic -- a Muslim from Kozarac who originally testified Aug. 8. Arifagic was also called to discredit "W." He recalled an incident when "W" threatened to explode a grenade in a bar against people whom he claim "framed" him.

• Nasiha Klipic -- another Muslim from Kozarac who originally teistified June 13. She claimed she saw defense witness Zeljko Maric on May 27, 1992, when she and other Muslims surrendered. Maric was in uniform, armed and helping round up those surrendering, she said.

All these witnesses were on the stand briefly and none was subjected to cross-examination.

The new witnesses:

• Advija Compara -- a Muslim, recounted a story of how defense witness Rajko Karanovic and two other men came to her appartment in July 1992 and told her to leave by the next morning. One of them -- apparently under Karanovic's direction -- held a gun to Compara temple. Karnovic had been asked about this incident in his cross-examination and he denied threatening Compara. At the trnopolje prison camp, Compara saw the defendant Dusko Tadic at least twenty times, sometimes in uniform, always armed and always inside the camp, including the main school building.

• Muneverna Kulasic -- a Muslim woman who lived in Prijedor, described Tadic and another man at her sister's apartment on June 20, 1992, ordering her family to vacate the premises. Her furnishings and most of her posesions were seized. She later learned that Tadic's family moved in and saw Tadic's wife walking in Prijedor, wearing one of her jackets.

• Fikret Kadiric -- a Muslim who was the Prijedor traffic police commander at the time of the Serb takeover. He was arrested in May 1992 and taken to police headquarters where he saw busloads of Muslims men being unloaded and heard sounds of beating and screams. He said defense witness Duro Prpos was present that day. Prpos denied knowing about this episode in his testimony.

Kadiric begins his cross-examination when testimony resumes.

November 7
The prosecution called to the stand its final four rebuttal witnesses as the evidence phase in the war crimes trial of Dusko Tadic came to a close.

The defense declined to present anything further. The trial will be recess until Nov. 25 as both sides prepare for closing arguments.

Highlights from Nov. 7 testimony:

• Fikret Kariric -- the former Prejedor traffic police commander returned for a five-minute cross-examination, answering questions about the Serb takeover of Prejedor.
• Witness "A A" -- the last of the witnesses to testify in a closed session.
• Sofia Tadic -- a Croat, said she was married to the defendant's brother Mladin Tadic from 1978 to 1991. She contradicted the defendant's testimony, saying that the defendant showed increasing interest in Serb nationalism in the late 1980s. She said that Tadic had planned to name his second child "Slobodan" after the Serb leader, if it was a boy. She also refuted Tadic's claim that he had a lot of Muslim friends in Kozarac. She described Tadic as "violent," and hot-tempered, recounting one incident when Tadic beat his wife and another incident when Tadic got into an argument with a man, hit him in the head and grabbed his genitals. Later, the witness said, Tadic allegedly began to splash gasoline around the man's house, threatening to set a fire until a family member calmed him down.
• Robert Reid -- the tribunal's head investigator for the Tadic case, returned to the stand to assure the tribunal that four witnesses had properly identified Tadic. This testimony was used to counter defense witness Professor Williem Wagenaar, an expert in identification who questioned Reid's methods. Reid also described two interviews with Tadic, noting that Tadic was "very deliberate" in his answers, had full access to documents, and had an attorney with him at all times.
• Alfred Hubel -- a German policeman. After Tadic's arrest, Hubel interviewed him. Like the previous witness, Hubel said Tadic had an attorney at all times and access to all documents. The witness testified in Germany, through an interpreter with his image electrically distorted.
