FOREIGN FIGHTERS STILL IN BOSNIA - IFOR INTELLIGENCE REPORTS

SARAJEVO, Feb 23 (Hina) - Some 100 to 159 persons due to leave Bosnia-Herzegovina under the Dayton agreement provisions were still inside the country, an intelligence officer with the NATO-led Implementation Force (IFOR) said Friday. IFOR had information and reports about "a number of sites" where such persons were undergoing a military training, General John Sylvester, head of intelligence operations department with the IFOR H.Q., told a news conference in Sarajevo. "When we are ready, we will take appropriate actions and search through these places," he added. The commanding officers with the IFOR had good reasons for a recent action in Fojnica, near Sarajevo, where they had found a training camp run by Iranian instructors, General Sylvester said, but added that there was no firm evidence of terrorist attacks allegedly planned from the camp. He bluntly denied allegations that the Iranians were abused at apprehension. "I can assure you that we have treated them like schoolchildren," he said. (Hina) mm bk 231344 MET feb 96
