SARAJEWO  Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnian Serbs massacred civilians and blocked U.N. efforts to evacuate, 1,500 sick and wounded people yesterday as they overran a Muslim enclave in eastern Bosnia according to U.N. officials.
Serbs block U.N. evacuations and burn kill in Bosnian towns
Serbs were "plundering, killing and burning," said Lyndall Sachs, a U.N. spokeswoman, with tanks rumbling through the smoldering ruins of villages where U.S. pilots had dropped thousands of meals the day before.
The U.N. officials, basing their information on ham radio dispatches, said Serb fighters in the Cerska and neighboring Srebrenica area were killing women and children.
The food mostly fell into Serb hands, according to the Pentagon, while some 10,000 people it was meant to feed fled into the icy mountains. Some Muslims trying to collect aid reportedly were picked off by snipers, said another U.N. spokesman.
"If only 10 percent of the reports being received from ham radio operators are true, a massacre is taking place," said the officials of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, in a report radioed to Sarajevo from the northeastern city of Tuzla.
BRIEFS
Russian military plans to help U.S. with aid to warring Bosnia
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration warmly welcomed Russia's announced participation in the Bosnian air drop yesterday, hailing it as a milestone of post-Cold War cooperation.
"It's very important that they participate," said Bob Hall, Pentagon representative. "They have a tremendous military capability."
During the past two nights, six U.S. C-130 transport planes have dropped 38.3 tons of food and medicine over eastern Bosnia, the latest drop to the region of Zepa, Hall said. It is the most direct U.S. intervention so far in the conflict among the warring factions of the former Yugoslavia.
Hall said it was significant that the Russians participate in "this kind of humanitarian mission." Both the Russian and U.S. militaries have changed as a result of the end of the Cold War, he said.
Meanwhile, a senior Pentagon official said U.S. plans call for a pause in the Bosnia air drops after a third nighttime mission is completed.
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said getting the Russians involved in the operation raised hopes for stronger diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia.
Yeltis assembles supporters warns them against hardliners
MOSCOW — President Boris Yeltsin mustered his political allies yesterday before a showdown with Russia's hard-line Congress, and said he was willing to take "extreme steps" to save his reforms.
Yeltsin solemnly told a gathering of about 80 lawmakers and members of reformist factions in his second lobbying appearance this week that "the democrats alone cannot pull out this heavy cart."
The most chilling part of Yellins's speech was his warning that hard-line forces planned to assert their power through the Communist-dominated Congress to further weaken his government.
If they succeed, "these forces will bring about a reversal of the reforms to which people already have become accustomed," Yeltsin said. "If forces that can destroy Russia appear, extreme steps will have to be taken to save the country."
Former Yeltsin adviser Galina Starovoitova said later that Yeltsin was referring to the introduction of direct presidential rule.
