Department Of Justice Tracks War Criminals

Gary Fitleberg, December 21, 2004

The U.S. Justice Department’s Nazi-hunting unit is expanding its purview.

The Anti-Atrocity Alien Deportation Act, passed Dec. 18, allows the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) to track all war criminals as it long has tracked former Nazis.

The law was passed after Marko Boskic, a Bosnian Croat accused of participating in a 1995 massacre of 1,200 Muslim civilians, was found to be living in a Boston suburb on a refugee visa.

Since it was created in 1979, the Office of Special Investigations has won cases against 95 individuals who assisted World War II-era persecution.
