BOSNIAKS ATTACK SWEDISH HUMANITARIAN VEHICLES

( Editorial: --> 1770 ) TUZLA, Feb 13 (Hina) - A large group of Bosniaks (Muslims) late Thursday evening stoned three vehicles of a Swedish humanitarian organisation carrying Bosnian Serb civilians. The Serbs were returning from an inter-entity meeting on Croat- Muslim Federation territory. According to a Friday statement of the Tuzla-based office of the International Police Task Force, the incident occurred between Jablanica and Maglaj, near the separation zone, 120 kilometres north of Sarajevo. Two Bosnian Serb civilians were injured, one lightly, one seriously, and were both transferred to the Maglaj hospital, while the others were accompanied to the border with the Bosnian Serb entity, IPTF spokesman Andreo Angeli said in the statement. Prior to this incident, the same group of Bosniaks had stopped the Swedish vehicles near Jablanica, two kilometres from the separation zone with the Bosnian Serb entity. They demanded that one Serb civilian, whose name has not been mentioned, step out of the vehicle, claiming he had killed 12 civilians during the conflict in Bosnia. When their request was denied, they blocked the passage. Accompanied by local police, the vehicles drove on, but were again stopped by Bosniaks near Maglaj, where the Serbs were taken for security. The Bosniaks stoned the vehicles, injuring two civilians. (hina) ha mm 131756 MET feb 98
