Milestones

Ten years ago: A Korean Air jetliner disappeared off Burma, with the loss of all 115 people aboard; South Korea charged that North Korea had planted a bomb on the aircraft. Cuban detainees released 26 hostages that they’d been holding for more than a week at the Federal Detention Center in Louisiana.

Five years ago: A refugee center in western Germany was firebombed as violence against foreigners continued, despite a crackdown on neo-Nazis.

One year ago: A U.N. court sentenced Bosnian Serb army soldier Drazen Erdemovic to 10 years in prison for his role in the massacre of 1,200 Muslims - the first international war crimes sentence since World War II.
