Internet site Facebook has shut down a web site in which a group of Serbians inserted celebratory messages on the massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica.

After online appeals from nearly 20,000 Facebook subscribers, the company closed the site.

A Serbian group called Noz Zica Srebrenica celebrated the detention and killing of around 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995 by Bosnian Serb forces.

A Facebook spokesman said the message content had violated Facebook terms of use.
