RENEGADE MOSLEM FORCES BLOCK TWO U.N. CONVOYS

ZAGREB, March 1 (Hina) - Renegade Moslem forces in northwestern Bosnia were blocking two UNHCR convoys, a UNHCR spokeswoman in Zagreb said today. Alemka Lisinski, spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said that authorities loyal to local businessman Fikret Abdic denied clearance for the convoys to travel to their destinations. One convoy was blocked on its way back to Zagreb after unloading in Cazin, while the other which was travelling to Cazin was held up at a Topusko check point in Serb-held Croatia, Lisinski said. Drivers and nine convoy trucks were taken to a UN base at Coralici after the convoy was caught in a crossfire yesterday between Abdic forces and the Bosnian government army. Renegade Moslem authorities had said they could not authorize the movement of the convoys because of fighting, which we doubted, Lisinski said. UNHCR officials asked rebel Serb authorities in Knin to allow the convoys to take an alternative route but said they did not expect they would be granted clearance. (hina) jn vm 011555 MET mar 95
