NEW YORK, Aug 18 (Hina) - A mine-sweeper who was killed in the line of duty in Bosnia-Herzegovina was Swiss, not a Swede as had been previously reported, the UN said Friday. The Swiss citizen killed when a mine near Rogatica (70 km
from Sarajevo) detonated. A Serb mine-sweeper and a police officer were also killed in the explosion, UN spokesman Manoel De Almeida e Silva said. The men were trying to draw out the bodies of two men killed in the mine field. Manoel De Almeida e Silva said there were still about a million mines in some 19,000 mine fields.(hina) lml jn
