BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA - 100 years ago: The gunshots that precipitated World War I
One hundred years ago on Saturday, the spark that ignited the atrocities of World War I went off in Sarajevo. Our reporters take us to the Bosnian capital to meet a descendant of one of the men who plotted to kill Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria and his wife in June 1914. The assassination led to the world's first global conflict which left some 35 million people dead, soldiers and civilians alike.
