NATO STRIKES AT BOSNIAN SERBS

NATO planes bombed a target near Sarajevo as punishment to the Bosnian Serbs for seizing weapons from a U.N. depot. At least one antitank gun was confirmed hit, the Pentagon said. Sixteen NATO planes executed the attack, at the request of the U.N. The Bosnian Serbs apparently learned their lesson after the NATO strike and agreed to return the weapons they took. The latest attack represents a tightening of the noose around the Bosnian Serbs, who have few friends left. According to TIME's Central Europe bureau chief James L. Graff, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic today enforced a day-old border blockade by turning away hundreds of trucks bound for Bosnia. Even the Russians, who were expected to complain, remained quiet. "The stars were right for this kind of strike," says Graff.
