ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - A court panel today convicted the last known living 
commander of a World War II concentration camp, sentencing Dinko Sakic to a 
maximum 20 years in prison. Sakic, 78, was found responsible in the killings 
of about 2,000 people while he ran Croatia's infamous Jasenovac concentration 
camp in 1944. The state prosecutor had charged Sakic with ``maltreating, 
torturing and killing'' inmates and allowing his subordinates to do the same. 
More than 30 camp survivors testified against Sakic, recalling starvation, 
untreated diseases and the killing of inmates deemed unfit to work.
