    		As of Friday, February 16, 2007 -- A former Bosnian Serb paramilitary leader was jailed for 34 year on Friday for committing war crimes, the longest sentence yet given by a Bosnian court.

    Gojko Jankovic, 52, was found guilty on seven counts of crimes against humanity for acts committed during a "ethnic cleansing" campaign early in the 1992-95 war to purge eastern Bosnia of Muslim population.

    The previous longest sentence was 24 years.

    		Yes, I believe 45 is a higher number than 34.
