FORCES LOYAL TO LOCAL MOSLEM LEADER IN WEST BOSNIA IN DISARRAY

SARAJEVO, Aug 6 (Hina) - Complete chaos reigns in a part of western Bosnia controlled by renegade Moslem forces loyal to local leader Fikret Abdic and U.N. commander for Bosnia-Herzegovina Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose had an opportunity to see it for himself during a visit to the region on Friday. A UN official, who spoke to a Hina reporter in Sarajevo on condition of anonimity, said that the Abdic forces were completely disorganized and demoralized after suffering a defeat in battles against Bosnian government forces at Pecigrad two days ago. The UN official estimated that at least a hundred soldiers had been killed in the battle of Pecigrad and that Bosnian army forces had captured about 780 Abdic followers. He said that Lt. Gen. Rose had met Abdic in Velika Kladusa on Friday and that Abdic had announced his troops would continue fighting to the last man. The UN official added he doubted that Abdic was able to secure obedience from his troops and to prevent his army from plunging into complete disarray. (hina) mm vm 061506 MET aug 94
