SERBS KILL THREE CITIZENS AND WOUND FOUR IN SARAJEVO ON MONDAY

SARAJEVO, May 22 (Hina) - Three Sarajevans were killed in Serb mortar and sniper attacks on the Bosnian capital this morning. Two civilians died in the explosion of a mortar round that hit the northern central part of Sarajevo at about 10:00 am, Bosnian Army 1st corps press office reported on Monday. Another civilian was killed in the sniping fire near the Presidency's building in the Sarajevo downtown. Four citizens were wounded in the Sarajevo suburb of Butmir this morning when Serbs launched a mortar shell, the same source said. Four mortar shells landed on an area where Danish UN soldiers are located in the city this morning as well. No information on consequences of the shelling has been issued so far. On Sunday two citizens were injured in the sniping fire, UN military observers confirmed reports today. The central city streets are still exposed to the sniping fire, and at most of the dangerous crossroads anti-sniper barricades have been set since yesterday in order to protect passers-by as much as possible. The protective anti-sniper barricades were removed from the streets in February last year following NATO's ultimatum and the UN declaration of the Sarajevo safe area. (hina) jn mms 221336 MET may 95
