DISCOVERING PERPETRATORS IN ZVORNIK ATTACK MAIN PRIORITY - SFOR

SARAJEVO, May 27 (Hina) - Wednesday's attack on two buildings in Zvornik (eastern Bosnia-Herzegovina), housing Stabilisation Force (SFOR) liaison officers was a premeditated, well-organised act, aimed at killing the SFOR members, SFOR spokesman David Scanlon said in Sarajevo on Thursday. The two houses in Zvornik, in which SFOR members were accommodated, were hit with anti-tank missiles, fired from hand-held rocket launchers. One house was hit with four, and the other one with five anti-tank projectiles. Scanlon said it was only by chance that the attack did not cause casualties since the projectiles had a great devastating power. An intensive search for the perpetrators will be launched, and the SFOR will not sever its contacts with the Zvornik municipality, Scanlon said. However, he described the attack as a murder attempt. The UN Mission's spokeswoman in Sarajevo, Kelly Moore, said the International Police Task Force (IPTF) had requested the police in Zvornik to immediately launch an investigation and discover the perpetrators. Moore said the police had been told that discovering the perpetrators was a top priority, Moore said. (hina) rml
