WOMAN KILLED BY BOOBY TRAP IN SARENGRAD

VUKOVAR, Sept 2 (Hina) - A woman was killed on Monday evening by a home-made mine planted on the fence in front of her house in Sarengrad, a town in the UN-administered Danube river region of eastern Croatia, the UN Transitional Administration (UNTAES) said on Tuesday. Slobodanka Bosnjakovic, aged 38, set off a booby trap when she had opened the gate for her husband to park the car in the yard, Transitional Police spokesman Miodrag Maticic said. She died on the way to hospital. Her husband and son, who was also in the car, were not injured. Maticic said that an investigation was under way and that several suspects had been arrested. UNTAES spokesman Philip Arnold said that an on-site investigation had been carried out by the Transitional Police and UNTAES civilian police. Arnold said that Slobodanka Bosnjakovic was a Serb and that her husband was a Croat, and that they were natives of Sarengrad. Arnold described the event as a tragic, stupid and criminal act and a murder. (hina) vm jn 021717 MET sep 97
