We cannot confirm nor dismiss this at the moment, Riley told
reporters, but refuted allegations that NATO soldiers had taken part in
an operation in Han-Pijesak, where the hideout of the former commander
of Bosnian Serb forces, Ratko Mladic, is located.
Riley stressed that SFOR troops had undertaken appropriate measures
to protect themselves from possible attempts of retaliation after
Thursday's operation.
