Yugoslavian republic may secede
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — About 15,000 people demonstrated in the capital of Montenegro yesterday to demand that their tiny Yugoslav republic join four others in seeking independence.
The governments of Montenegro and Serbia are the only two of Yugoslavia's six republics that have stayed in the disintegrating federation
Meanwhile, three people died in isolated military clashes, two days after the U.N. Security Council agreed to send 14,000 peacekeepers to monitor a shaky cease-fire in Croatia.
Germany's foreign minister, meanwhile, visited Slovenia for the first time since the European Community recognized it and Croatia as
independent states Jan. 15. He called for both to be admitted to international organizations and to strengthen ties with the EC.
In Titograd, Montenegrins who want independence marched a day after the republic's legislature of Serbia and union with the much larger Serbia.
Growing support for independence in Montenegro apparently spurred the lawmakers to schedule a quick referendum on the plan for March 1.
Opposition leaders at the rally denounced the plan as unconstitutional and illegal, Montenegri TV reported. They also argued the tiny state of 830,000 people would be dominated by Serbia with its 5.8 million population.
A nearby counter-demonstration organized by the ruling Democratic
Party of Socialists drew about 300 people, the report said.
Bosnia-Hercegovina, a republic with a tense ethnic mix of Slavic Muslims, Orthodox Serbs and Roman Catholic Croats, is holding a referendum on independence next weekend. The vote is being boycotted by ethnic Serbs.
Serbs in Croatia took up arms to challenge Croatia's move to secede June 25. Up to 10,000 people died in the war pitting Croats against the Serb-dominated Yugoslav army and Serb irregulars, butuffighting has generally stopped since a U.N.-mediated truce took effect Jan. 3.
The first U.N. troops are expected to arrive in about two weeks.

army is to withdraw and all paramilitary forces are to disarm and disband.
Croatia hopes to restore its authority to those areas, about a third of its territory. But ethnic Serbs, who make about 12 percent of the republic's people, say they will not be part of an independent Croatia because they fear ethnic persecution.
German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher arrived in Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana, a day after visiting Croatia.
After talks with his Slovenian counterpart, Dimitrij Rupel, Gensher said Slovenia and Croatia should be admitted into the United Nations, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and other international groups.
Study reveals faults in gulf war operation
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A Pentagon study revealed that allied forces during the Persian Gulf War bombed Iraq's civilian infrastructure far more heavily than intended, a newspaper reported.
According to a draft study, there was a breakdown in communicating targeting guidelines to some air units that ultimately relied on outdated guidance in selecting targets, the New York Times reported yesterday.
The study also showed that allied forces used unsecured radio equipment, enabling the Iraqis to eavesdrop and track downed pilots and that intelligence and mine-sweeping operations were less effective than thought, the newspaper said.
The chief strategy behind the air campaign was to main Iraq's com-

doing long-term damage to the country's civilian infrastructure.
The raids, however, did enormous damage to power plants, causing the shutdown of sewage treatment and water purification plants, and slowed medical services after the war, the Times said.
The report reached these conclusions, according to the newspaper:
Only 10 percent of the bombs used in the guulf war were so-called smart bombs. Many targets were hit by conventional bombs.
The Iraqis were better equipped to lay mines than the United States was to clear them out. Two American ships were seriously damaged by mines.
- Intelligence was not shared in a timely fashion. For instance, aerial photos of Iraqi targets did not reach the ground troops assigned to attack them.
