FILE - In this June 9, 2011 file photo, then-CIA Director nominee Leon Panetta testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. After U.S. Navy SEALs killed Osama bin laden in Pakistan in May 2011, top CIA officials secretly told lawmakers that information gleaned from brutal interrogations played a key role in what was one of the spy agencys greatest successes. Panetta repeated that assertion in public, and it found its way into a critically acclaimed movie about the operation, Zero Dark Thirty, which depicts a detainee offering up the identity of bin Ladens courier, Abu Ahmad al- Kuwaiti, after being tortured at a CIA black site. As it turned out, Bin Laden was living in al Kuwaitis walled family compound, so tracking the courier was the key to finding the al-Qaida leader. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File) (AP)

In this photo taken Wednesday, July 16, 2014, Selma Colovic-Memovic, the daughter of Fikret Memovic, looks at photographs of her father, railway worker from southwest Serbia, who was traveling back home from the capital, Belgrade, when his train unexpectedly stopped at a remote station in war-ravaged eastern Bosnia _ a lone post on the hilly boundary with Serbia, where he himself had worked only days before, in Prijepolje, Serbia. A group of armed Bosnian Serb militia _ some wearing long beards of the nationalist World War II Chetnik movement _ stormed in and checked the passengersâ IDs. They abducted only non-Serbs _ 18 Muslims and one Croat _ after recognizing their Muslim names. No one tried to stop them. The train went on in eery silence among remaining passengers after some 30 minutes. (AP Photo/Darko Vojinovic) (Darko Vojinovic)
