Grenade Attack in Sniper Alley

SARAJEVO: In the worst attack since the October 12 truce in Bosnia, one man was killed and at least 19 others wounded when a grenade exploded in a Sarajevo street. A NATO official said the grenade was launched from the Serb-held suburb of Grbavica. The grenade struck a streetcar and tore a foot-wide hole in its roof as it was traveling down the Sarajevo's main boulevard, dubbed Sniper Alley during the war. NATO officials, who Monday pledged to use significant force if necessary to enforce Bosnia's peace, had no imediate response beyond condemning the incident. Although the Bosnian Serb news agency denied Serbs were to blame, Bosnian Foreign Minister Muhamed Sacirbey said the grenade attack was meant to intimidate President Clinton as he prepares for a visit this weekend to Bosnia. After speaking with U.S. officials in Washington, Sacirbey said Clinton would spend most of his visit with U.S. troops in Tuzla.
