ARMS SHIPMENT FOR BOSNIAN FEDERATION ARRIVES AT HADZICI BY TRAIN

SARAJEVO, Dec 4 (Hina) - A shipment of U.S. arms, that has been delivered to Bosnia-Herzegovina as the United States' contribution to the 'Equip and Train' programme, arrived at a Hadzici warehouse of the Army of the Croat-Moslem Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Five tanks and ten armoured personnel carriers were transported by train at Hadzici (southwest of Sarajevo), escorted by military police of the Bosnian Croat armed force (HVO) and Bosnian Army. Present at the unloading of the weapons were Federation Premier Izudin Kapetanovic and General Sakib Mahmuljen, who is the candidate of the Moslem (Bosniak) side for a deputy to the defence minister replacing Hasan Cengic who had to resign due to the American pressure. General Mahmuljen told reporters at Hadzici that the unloading of a ship, that transported arms from the United Arab Emirates to the Croatian port of Ploce, was expected to begin soon. He added that a ship with arms for the Bosnian Federation had left Egypt on Wednesday as well. (hina) mm mš 042158 MET dec 96
