United States has extradited a Bosnian national to his Balkan homeland so he can stand trial for alleged war crimes committed during the conflicts of the 1990s.

Sulejman Mujagic was handed over to Bosnian authorities on Friday following an April ruling by a New York federal district court, the US Justice Department said in a statement Monday.

As a platoon commander in the Army of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia, Mujagic is accused of torturing and executing a disarmed Bosnian Army soldier and torturing a second on or around March 6, 1995, it said.
