The war crimes with which Abdic was charged were committed during the mutiny he orchestrated in 1993 when he created and headed an Autonomous Region of West BiH around the northwestern town of Bihac, while his mercenaries fought against BiH's mainly Muslim army.
Ratni zločini za koje se Abdić tereti počinjeni su tokom pobune koju je on organizovao 1993, kada je uspostavio i vodio Autonomnu oblast Zapadna Bosna u okolini grada Bihaća na severozapadu BiH, dok su se njegovi plaćenici borili protiv pretežno muslimanske Armije BiH.
