The four years of war in Sarajevo have left physical and psychological scars on the residents there. Many people have tales of horror to tell. Ana Capalik, 83, a Croat, whose suburb of Grbavica was reunited
with the rest of Sarajevo this week, is one of them. Since 1992, her tiny apartment was a prison, surrounded by mine fields and snipers. Her only son was killed soon after the war started. A small cross marks his grave in Ana's front garden. There was nowhere else to bury him. Last year, after months of harassment by local Serbs, Ana said she
was raped and left for dead by Serb soldiers. Only on Tuesday (19/3), when the city was finally reunited, was she able to move around freely to meet friends and neighbours.
