ONE KILLED; ONE WOUNDED IN MOSTAR SHOOTING INCIDENTS

( Editorial: --> 5766 ) MOSTAR, July 5 (Hina) - A girl was killed and a man was wounded in the eastern (Bosniak-controlled) part of Mostar on Saturday night, following Croatia's victory over Germany at the football World Cup in France. The 25-year-old Emina Catic was killed while sitting in a bar in eastern Mostar while Husein Djalilovic (aged 67) sustained severe injuries to his head also in a bar in the eastern part of the town. Djalilovic was hospitalised, the head of the High Representative's office in Mostar, Martin Garrod, told reporters Sunday. During the night, a group of Croats ravaged a Bosniak returnee suburb in Stolac, southern Bosnia-Herzegovina, Garrod said. All those who participated in the shooting shared great responsibility, he added. Without going into details, Garrod announced a thorough investigation into the incidents. He said he had sent a letter to the Herzegovina-Neretva canton authorities, requesting that similar incidents and shooting be prevented after Wednesday's match between Croatia and France.
