On 5 February 1994 a mortar bomb hit Sarajevo's busy main market killing 66 and injuring 200.
The 120mm shell was fired into the packed open-air market at midday, causing untold destruction.
It was the day that Bosnian Serb, Muslim and Croat politicians were due to meet in the city for peace talks.
The attack took place 22 months into the Balkan war which dominated much of the last decade of the Twentieth Century.
