ABOUT 100 ISLAMIC FIGHTERS LEFT IN CAMP IN N.W. BOSNIA - IFOR

SARAJEVO, Jan 19 (Hina) - About 100 Islamic volunteers who fought alongside the government army in the Bosnian war were still in a camp in northwestern Bosnia-Herzegovina waiting to be transported out of the country in line with the peace agreement, a spokesman for the NATO-led peace Implementation Force (IFOR) said on Friday. IFOR spokesman Lt. Col. Marc Rayner told a press conference in Sarajevo that IFOR could not confirm allegations that there were still Mujaheddin troops left in the country and who should also leave. A group of 16 Mujaheddin fighters left Bosnia-Herzegovina under escort on Thursday after spending a few days in the Coralici camp under the supervision of the Bosnian army and IFOR troops. A minor incident occurred Thursday night when a group of Mujaheddin surrounded a vehicle of Canadian IFOR military police patrolling the Coralici area. The Canadians were not directly attacked but sought assistance after assessing that they were in danger. A platoon of British IFOR troops and "Warrior" armoured vehicles were sent but there was no need for them to intervene. IFOR officials in Sarajevo described the situation in the Coralici area as peaceful. (hina) vm jn 191534 MET jan 96
