AKASHI CONDEMS SARAJEVO MASSACRE

ZAGREB, Feb 5 (Hina) - Special envoy of UN Secretary General Yasushi Akashi gave his statement yesterday concerning the massacre in Sarajevo, issued by the UNPROFOR Public Relations Office in Zagreb. The statement is here fully quoted: "I express my outrage, and that of the whole international community, at this unspeakable act of barbarity, which exploded in the middle of a large crowd of civilians who were shopping in the market on a Saturday afternoon. I shall travel to Sarajevo tomorrow morning (Sunday) with the UNPROFOR Force Commander, General Jean Cot. We shall be carrying some specific proposals to the parties for concrete action to reduce the tension." The statement also said the massacre "was caused by a single, 120mm mortar bomb fired from north-east of the market". Yet the UNPROFOR military experts, "after analyzing the explosion crater, have not, so far, been able to determine with certainty the exact origin of launch of the mortar", said the statement among others. 061128 MET feb 94
