MOSTAR, Nov 9 (Hina) - The world-famous Old Bridge in Mostar crumbled into
the Neretva river this morning at about 09:00. Apart from the damages
inflicted in the Serbian aggression on Mostar in June 1992, the bridge was
damaged in yesterday's and this morning's heavy artillery battles between
the Muslim forces and HVO.
The Old Stone Bridge was built by the builder Hajrudin in 1566 and was the
last bridge to remain over the Neretva river in Mostar. Six modern bridges
in Mostar had been destroyed by Serbs while they were pulling out. The only
way to cross the Neretva is across a makeshift bridge.
