FAMILIES OF MISSING BUGOJNO CROATS SEND LETTER TO GARROD ( Editorial: --> 0951 )

( Editorial: --> 0951 ) BUGOJNO, Nov 14 (Hina) - The association of families of missing Croats from the Bugojno area of central Bosnia on Friday sent an open letter to the head of the Mostar regional office of the international high representative to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Martin Garrod, demanding the truth about the Croats taken away in an unknown direction from a detention camp in Bugojno in 1993 following the Moslem-Croat conflict. The letter said that Garrod had served as EU mission chief in Zenica during the Moslem-Croat conflict in central Bosnia and that he had managed to visit the prisoners in the Stadion camp in Bugojno before the arrival of representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross. "He knows the truth about the fate of the prisoners who were taken away, but is concealing it," the letter said, adding that it was unclear why Garrod was silent on this problem.
