SLAVONSKI BROD, May 10 (Hina) - Bosnian Serb forces fired two rifle-launched grenades at central Slavonski Brod, about 180 km east of Zagreb, at 22.00 hours on Thursday, Slavonski Brod police said in a statement on Friday. One grenade hit the wall of a former bookshop in the town's shopping area but failed to explode. Only three minutes later a second grenade fell and exploded in the courtyard of a family house. There were no casualties. The attack was carried out from the Bosanski Brod area of Serb-controlled northern Bosnia. The Slavonski Brod county police were informed about the armed provocation early Friday afternoon and were investigating the incident together with the civilian police of the NATO-led peace Implementation Force (IFOR).
