SERBS DETAIN 2 FOREIGN PHOTO-JOURNALISTS AT TOPUSKO, UNPA NORTH

ZAGREB, Dec 6 (Hina) - Croatia's rebel Serbs at Topusko, UNPA Sector North, detained two foreign photo-journalists, one Frenchman and the other American, a spokesman for UN Protection Force in Zagreb, Paul Risley, said this evening. The two photo-journalists were seen at Topusko last time on Monday night when they were taken in an unknown direction by the "Serb militia' members. The journalists had possessed the UNPROFOR accreditation. Their whereabouts were unknown at the moment. UNPROFOR today started an investigation at a highest level to find out where the journalists could be, Risley said. He declined to give their names and the agencies for which they worked because of their personal safety. Croatia's rebel Serb on Sunday detained three Italian reporters in UNPA Sector North holding them captive for 20 hours. The Serbs freed the Italians after they had taken from them their car, money and documents. (hina) mar mms 062109 MET dec 94
