BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: SHELLING LATEST SITUATION
English/Nat
Four people - including two children - were killed Tuesday in the worst shelling of Sarajevo in three weeks.
At least 23 people were injured, including six Egyptian UN peacekeepers who had come under attack from Serb mortar shells.
There had already been one shell this morning - many Sarajevans thought that would be it for the day.
But a larger missile and a tank shell struck these housing blocks shortly afterwards.
The damage was largely structural - flames leapt out from some apartments while smoke billowed out of others.
Firefighters were kept busy tackling the smouldering wreckage.
United Nations' inspectors were on hand to see the sites, but there was little they could do.
Rubble lay strewn across the street and only some dared to look onto the scene, rushing back into their homes when sniper shots rang out.
Earlier in the day, four people - including two children - were killed when Bosnian Serb gunners fired a shell into Sarajevo.
The shell landed close to a bridge on the Miljacka river that runs right through the centre of town.
Among Tuesday's casualties were six Egyptian peacekeepers.
A UN spokesman said Bosnian Serbs had shelled the soldiers' observation post (OP) but added no response was possible.
SOUNDBITE:
Around 10 o'clock this morning, the Egyptian OP at (Emiravice?) was hit by 420mm mortar rounds. This resulted in the wounding of six Egyptian soldiers, two of whom were seriously hurt. We have been able to determine that the direction of fire came from the Bosnian Serb side, but we have not been able to ascertain the exact firing point on the ground and, therefore, unable to respond.
SUPER CAPTION: Lieutenant Colonel Chris Vernon, UN Spokesman
One woman had a lucky escape.
This maid was working in a building struck by shellfire and was trapped under rubble.
Once freed from the debris, she was taken to hospital where medics found she had escaped with only minor injuries.

President of war crimes tribunal visits memorial to children killed during siege of Sarajevo
The president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Thursday visited a memorial in Sarajevo dedicated to the children killed during the siege of the city during the war at the beginning of the1990s in Bosnia.
Theodor Meron spoke to the families of the dead children, promising them more action to convict those responsible for four years of the random shelling of Sarajevo.
The tribunal was set up in 1993 to prosecute people responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law during the wars that raged in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and can declare someone guilty only if his guilt was proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Relatives of the victims have voiced their concerns about the tribunal's work, especially in the light of the recent provisional release of Vojislav Seselj, one of the most prominent Serb leaders accused of war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia.
Seselj was provisionally released due to ill health, but his nationalistic rhetoric since his return to Serbia has been a painful reminder of the bloody wars of the 1990s in the Balkans.
Judges released Seselj so he could get medical treatment in Serbia on condition that he does not interfere with victims or witnesses and that he returns to the tribunal if summoned.
According to Red Cross data, some 1,600 children were killed during the war in Sarajevo, when Bosnian Serb troops surrounded and besieged the city for almost four years.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: FURTHER BOSNIAN SERB SHELLING
Natural Sound
Sarajevo was the scene of further shelling Friday, with seven wounded, four of whom were children.
A victim of shelling in the city earlier in the week, 12 year-old Adnan Hadzic, was buried Thursday.
Ways of providing aid to Sarajevo are due to be discussed by representatives of the contact group, meeting in London Friday.
Shells slammed into Sarajevo this morning (Friday), wounding seven people, four of them children.
Two of those children are now fighting for their lives.
U-N members are meeting in London to review their position as the desperate situation continues in Sarajevo.
This will do little to console the family of 12-year-old Adnan Hadzic.
Earlier this week, when Adnan briefly left his basement to use the toilet outside, he was struck by shrapnel as a shell landed nearby.
Yesterday (Thursday) his family wept as they said goodbye to another victim of the Bosnian Serb attacks on Sarajevo.
The funeral was held in the pitch dark for fear of yet another mortar attack.
Adnan is only one of more than 200,000 people reported dead or missing since the start of Bosnia's in April 1992.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: FUNERAL OF GIRL KILLED IN SERB ARTILLERY ATTACK
Serbo-Croat/Nat
A 17-year-old girl who was killed Sunday night in a Serb artillery attack on Sarajevo was buried today (Tuesday).
Maja Dzokio was killed when a mortar shell exploded near the Presidency building in downtown Sarajevo.
Hundreds of people gathered today (Tuesday) for the funeral of 17-year-old Maja Dzokio.
Friends and family members looked visibly shaken and distraught as they paid their last respects to the young girl.
Maja was killed Sunday night when a 120 millimeter mortar shell exploded near the Presidency building in downtown Sarajevo.
She was the youngest victim of this attack.The United Nations recorded 12 mortar shells falling on civilian sections of the government-held city on Sunday. One other person was killed and five were wounded in the same attack.
The attack is one of many over the last three days and it was the most serious violation of the cessation of hostilities agreement signed on December 31 last year in Sarajevo.
More battles have erupted along new front lines in northern Bosnia and the government has banned public gatherings in Sarajevo as a precaution.
War broke out in Bosnia in April 1992. At least 200,000 people are dead or missing in the war.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: CHILDREN GATHER TO SEND A PLEA OF PEACE TO OHIO
Serbo-Croat/Nat
As their leaders gathered in the United States for peace talks, Sarajevans took their own cautious steps towards peace.
An association of bereaved mothers gathered some 500 children in a central Sarajevo park to issue a plea to the leaders meeting in Dayton, Ohio.
In the park opposite the Bosnian Presidency and among former shell holes children laid flowers and toys in remembrance of other children killed in the war.
They linked hands around the memorial and sent a symbolic message to Ohio.
This is apparently not a protest, only a plea for peace and the survival of the children of Bosnia still alive.

The mothers were not protesting but had gathered only to express their wish for peace in the hope that the children of Bosnia who had survived the war so far could remain alive.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: BOSNIAN SERBS CONTINUE SHELLING CITY
Natural Sound
Bosnian Serb shells continued to fall on Sarajevo as the U-N reinforcements and their guns arrived just outside the city at Mount Igman.
Eight people, including two children were reported killed in the latest attack.
Nighttime in Sarajevo and the shelling continues.
Despite a tough warning to the Bosnian Serbs from the UN that they would begin to retaliate to all attacks on the capitol city - shells continued to pound residential areas.
For this woman - now without a home - it's just too much.
These scenes at the hospital are all too familiar.
Will things change with the United Nations new get tough approach?
The U-N has ordered the first combat unit from its rapid reaction force to Sarajevo.
The unit will take out any Bosnian Serb guns that fire at peacekeepers.
The order came hours after Bosnian Serb shells killed two French peacekeepers and wounded four others.
Clearly - word the new force was coming seems to have little effect on the Serbs.
Rebel forces have attacked U-N-declared safe areas all weekend despite Friday's vow by Western allies to defend the enclaves with air power.
More shells were fired on government-held parts of Sarajevo, killing at least two civilians.
Rebels also stepped up an offensive on another safe area, the northwestern enclave of Bihac
And the Muslim enclave of Zepa in the east was shelled for a third straight day.
There was no NATO response.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: BOSNIAN SERBS SHELL RESIDENTIAL AREAS
English/Nat
Bosnian Serbs shelled residential areas in Sarajevo Friday, retaliating against attempts by the Bosnian government army to ease the three-year siege of the Bosnian capital.
At least two patients were killed at Kosevo hospital when a Serb shell hit the building.
At the United Nations, Bosnian ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey railed against Western leaders for calling for a halt to fighting.
He said the Bosnian government was only defending its people.
UN observers counted more than one-thousand shells being exchanged in fighting between Bosnian government and Bosnian Serb forces Friday.
The new battle for Sarajevo began shortly after Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic ordered the Bosnian army to do all they could to prevent further strangulation of the city.
Serbs responded to the government artillery assaults by pounding enemy frontlines and firing on a Sarajevo suburb.
The streets of the Bosnian capital were virtually empty Friday - with few people daring to venture out.
Most were sheltering in the relative safety of cellars and makeshift shelters.
SOUNDBITE:
We're currently observing, monitoring and reporting as much as we can. We're trying as far as we can as well to provide as much protection as we can for our troops and also for those people who are around them.
(Question: Do you have any reports of Bosnian army gains?)
I think possibly some. I think they've gone across the Pale road and are fighting towards the southeast in that direction. We're not really sure of the gains to the west and southwest. Perhaps overnight we'll get a clearer picture.
SUPER CAPTION: Lieutenant Colonel Gary Coward, U-N spokesman
The sick and injured in Kosevo hospital were dealt a further devastating blow when a Serb shell slammed into the building, bringing carnage to one of the wards.
Two male patients were killed and several others - including women and children - were injured.
The attack will make the tough job of caring for the beleaguered capital's wounded even more difficult.
As the people of Sarajevo began clearing up the debris of the day's attacks, Bosnia's U-N ambassador in New York defended the Bosnian government offensive in Sarajevo and criticised Western leaders for imploring the Bosnians to stop.
SOUNDBITE:
Our actions around Sarajevo are defensive, and we cannot sit around, wait for the city to be strangled ever more tightly every day and for the Serbian forces once again to entrench themselves ever more tightly around the city. We think its incredulous for the G7 leaders to ask for a cessation of all military activities when a siege itself is a military action that has tremendous cost to our country and is in fact a crime of war against a civilian population.
SUPER CAPTION: Muhamed Sacirbey, Bosnian Ambassador to UN
As if to underline his words, a large calibre missile struck an apartment area in the new part of Sarajevo, destroying flats in the block of buildings around the impact site.
It was the first time that this kind of missile was fired on the populated area in the city.
It was not clear if anyone was killed in the explosion.
The Bosnian government now appears braced for a fight for the capital.
It has closed the only road in and out of Sarajevo and ordered citizens to prepare
shelters while the night curfew has moved from 2300 to 2100 local time.

STORYLINE
It will soon be two decades since Fikret Grabovica's 11-year-old daughter Irma was killed by a mortar fired from Serb positions around Sarajevo during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.
But instead of healing his grief, time has only deepened it.
Grabovica prayed at his daughter's grave on Tuesday, covered in under an unseasonal blanket of snow.
As the opening of the trial of the man he holds responsible for the murder of his firstborn child - Bosnian Serb war-time military commander Ratko Mladic - approaches, Grabovica hopes to at least get some sense of justice.
The loss of the greatest value any person can have inflicts a wound that can never heal, Grabovica said after visiting an exhibition of mementoes of children killed in Sarajevo during the siege.
Grabovica struggled to hold back tears after seeing birthday photos of his dead child and some of her clothes included in the exhibition.
He said he was looking forward to Mladic's trial, adding that he was confident the former general would be found guilty and sentenced.
Mladic will face the judges of the UN war crimes court in The Hague on Wednesday on 11 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes stemming from the Bosnian war, including for the 44-month siege of Sarajevo by forces under his command.
It is very important that Mladic be sentenced so that that people will know what he is guilty of, what he will be found guilty of, he said.
He added that Mladic's trial was important because there are still many people who do not know what really happened in Sarajevo during the siege.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: BOMBARDMENT OF CITY CONTINUES

The bombardment of Sarajevo continued Friday, the second day of the Bosnian government's offensive to regain control of the city from Serb forces.
Three civilians were killed and many wounded as Serbs retaliated by firing on targets in the city including the Kosevo hospital.
A shell exploded near the French U-N headquarters in the city and five French peacekeepers were wounded in various Sarajevo locations.
U-N observers counted more than 1-thousand shells being exchanged in fighting between Bosnian government and Bosnian Serb forces which began before dawn on Friday.
The new battle for Sarajevo began shortly after Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic ordered the Bosnian army to do all they could to prevent further strangulation of the city.
Serbs responded to government artillery assaults by pounding enemy frontlines and firing on a Sarajevo suburb.
The streets of the Bosnian capital are virtually empty with few people daring to venture out. Most were sheltering in the relative safety of cellars and makeshift shelters.
Many civilians were wounded in the city as the battle wore on and there are reports of civilian deaths.
Since this offensive began no military casualties have been made public.
The sick and injured in Kosevo hospital were dealt a further devastating blow when a Serb shell slammed into the building bringing carnage to one of the wards.
Three male patients were killed and several others - including women and children were injured.
The attack will make the tough job of caring for the beleaguered capital's wounded even more difficult.
Two large artillery rounds landed close to the Bosnian capital's presidential building causing damage but no reported casualties.
United Nations troops in Sarajevo have gone onto alert and the French U-N headquarters in the city was hit by a shell.
It exploded just a few metres from where French soldiers were standing guarding at the entrance, damaging several vehicles in the car park.
Five French peacekeepers have been wounded in different parts of Sarajevo. One of them has serious injuries to his head.
The fighting continued despite appeals by President Bill Clinton and other world leaders at the G-7 summit in Canada for both sides to show the greatest restraint and agree to peace talks.

As Balkan leaders meet in Dayton, Ohio, to find a path to peace,
the mothers of Sarajevo are making their own appeal. In the centre

On Thursday (2/11), children came to the memorial in droves. One
mother read out a letter which was to be handed to the American
Embassy, asking that a message of peace be transmitted to the
leaders meeting in Bosnia. Go to the children's graves, show the
world that you will not divide the children's graves. The ghosts
of the innocent children who have died and the children that are

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: FUNERAL OF WOMAN KILLED IN ROCKET ATTACK
English/Nat
A funeral was held today for the 55-year-old woman killed in a rocket attack on a tram in Sarajevo.
The attack, which left nineteen other people wounded, was the most serious act of violence since NATO Implementation Forces arrived in Bosnia last month.
Relatives and friends gather at a burial in Sarajevo - a too common scene in the recent past.
Another life was claimed in the capital when a rocket-propelled grenade slammed into a city tram as it was passing through the notorious Sniper's Alley.
The rocket was fired from a Serb-held area of the capital but no-one has yet admitted responsibility for the attack.
An investigation concluded that the rocket was not deliberately fired at the tram.
But the Bosnian Government blames the Serbs, claiming they are attempting to wreck the Dayton peace accord.
Mirsada Duric was killed in the attack - the other casualties included a wounded child.
The attack was the worst cease-fire violation since it came into effect last year.
NATO forces say the attack was an isolated incident and wouldn't stop the peace process.
But it was a tragic day for Mirsada Duric's family and relatives.
