BOSNIAN SERBS HOLD 328 UN SOLDIERS PRISONER

SARAJEVO, May 29 (Hina) - Bosnian Serbs were holding 328 U.N. officials prisoner, UN spokesman in Sarajevo Gary Coward said and added that another 46 Canadian UN soldiers were practically encircled in Ilijas, north of Sarajevo. The soldiers could not leave their base, which meant that they too were held hostages by Bosnian Serbs, Coward said. According to UNPROFOR reports, Serbs captured five tanks and 15 armoured vehicles from UNPROFOR officials in the last few days. Serbs yesterday captured seven combat vehicles from UNPROFOR officials in Gorazde. So far Serbs have released only two Russian military observers and let them go to the Russian UN base in the occupied Sarajevo suburb of Grbavica. (hina) mm rm 291431 MET may 95
