( Editorial: --> 0360 ) VUKOVAR, Dec 22 (Hina) - Seven persons have been arrested while one is being sought after, Croatian Deputy Interior Minister Josko Moric told reporters in Vukovar Monday in relation to last night's hand grenade explosions in Vukovar. Moric said police were as yet unsure whether the attacker who at 21.25 hours threw a bomb at a police patrol got wounded. Traces of blood have been found and indicate he was probably wounded while being chased by police, he said. "The person who we suspect attacked the police patrol has been identified and he is being intensively sought after", Moric said, adding this person, according to reliable sources, had not spent the night at home. "We suppose in the next few days we shall be able to inform the public that we have shed light on both attacks and that we know who the perpetrators are," the deputy interior minister concluded.
