The Prijedor Opstina, or municipality, includes seventy-two towns and villages. Following the Serb takeover of Prijedor’s government, those towns and villages with large non-Serb populations came under heavy attack. Some civilians were shot as they fled or surrendered; others were captured and taken to nearby concentration camps.
