BOSNIAN CROAT POLICE STOPS MOSLEM TERRORISTS-PRSKALO

MOSTAR, Feb 10 (Hina) - Commenting on Monday's distressing events in Mostar, Mayor Ivan Prskalo, said in a public statement this evening that the (Bosnia) Croat police had stopped an armed attack of Moslem terrorists. Prskalo said "today's terrorist attack has shown once again that all the events have recently been very well organized and devised by a part of extremists in the Moslem authorities." Deputy Mayor Safet Orucevic's failure to comment on the latest terrorist events shows clearly that he is the most responsible person for what is happening in the Moslem municipality of Mostar, according to Prskalo's statement. Mostar Mayor also said that international police force, SFOR and officials in the regional office of Carl Bildt shared the responsibility for "today's crime," and added that Mostar Croats had been warning them of possible developments for some time if Moslem extremists were not deterred. In the statement Prskalo said to "all Croats, citizens of the Croat municipality of Mostar," to be cautious and not to get into a panic because the Croat police would professionally, energetically and decisively prevent all those who were again trying to cause attacks, unrest and disturbance of safety and security in western part of Mostar.
