I am not a brave person. I have never been tempted to sign up for the armed forces, go parachuting or enrol on an Outward Bound course. It was therefore as much a surprise to me as anyone to find myself in January, travelling through central Bosnia, in flak jacket and helmet in an armoured personnel carrier. Together with my three female companions we had been despatched by the EC to investigate allegations of systematic rape and sexual abuse of Muslim women.
