SFOR AND POLICE INCREASE PATROLS ON MOSTAR ROAD

( Editorial: --> 0823 ) MOSTAR, Feb 10 (Hina) - SFOR and canton police on Monday night stepped up patrols on a Mostar road which once formed the frontline between fighting Bosniaks (Muslims) and Croats. Patrols have been increased along Bulevar because of repeated explosions in the Muslim controlled suburb of Donja Mahala, which the road passes through, representatives of international organisations operating in the Mostar area told journalists on Tuesday. The UN's Mostar spokeswoman Kelly Moore said at least seven explosions were heard in the southern town of Bosnia-Herzegovina last week but these were not reported to police. Moore said two people were killed and three injured in the 13 reported explosions in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton since the beginning of this year. (Hina) mm mb 101806 MET feb 98
