SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Government troops killed 16 Bosnian Serb soldiers and four nurses yesterday, and U.N. officials said some of the victims were mutilated, others were burned and some had their throats slit.
Muslims kill 16 Serbs near Sarajevo
The Associated Press
The incident on Mount Igman, southwest of Sarajevo, threatened a U.N. agreement with the Bosnian Serbs that reopened Sarajevo's airport to food airlifts yesterday.
Yasushi Akashi, the top U.N. official in Yugoslavia, lodged a protest with Bosnian President Aljia Izetbegovic.
The Muslim-led government admitted its troops killed them but denied the bodies were mutilated. All 20 were shot in the head.
admitted that Muslim-led government troops were responsible for the attack. He said charges that the Serbs were mutilated was "pure fabrication."
Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslims have all been accused of atrocities against each other in the fierce 30-month war, but Serbs have been blamed for most of the abuses.
Ejup Ganic, a deputy to Izetbegovic.
"Our guys just wiped them out," Ganic told the Associated Press. "We are not in the mutilating business, like the Serb side is."
A Bosnian Serb military statement carried by the Bosnian Serb news agency Srna warned that, "By this criminal act ... a powder keg that threatens to inflame not only Sarajevo but a much wider region has been set on fire."
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic threatened to kick U.N. forces out from the 70 percent of Bosnia currently controlled by the Serbs.
U. N. peacekeepers found the bodies yesterday afternoon at a Serb command post just outside a demilitarized zone on the mountain, U.N. officials said. They said they believed the Serbs were killed yesterday.
Bosnian Serbs later removed the corpses, which Akashi said "were mutilated or burned and disfigured." One U.N. source said some throats
One U.N. source said some throats had been slit.
A second U.N. source who saw the official report on the bodies said eight of the Serbs were killed with a knife, and all of them had been shot in the head. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity.
Akashi said he told Izbetebovic of his "grave concern that some encouraging developments in the last 24 hours, including the return of prisoners and reopening of the Sarajevo airport, might be set back considerably."
A U.N. plane landed later yesterday afternoon at the airport, ending a two-week shutdown imposed by Serbs in retaliation for a NATO assault on one of their tanks.
Bosnian Serbs grudgingly agreed to let the airport reopen after tough talks Wednesday with Akashi at their stronghold in Pale east of Sarajevo.

Shuttle's radar system detects oil spill
The early results indicated that it could.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Endeavour's powerful radar detected an intentional spill of oil and algae from 135 miles up yesterday, discerning black streaks that looked like an armada off the coast of Denmark.
Researchers applaud when they saw the radar images beamed down
German scientists dumped more than 100 gallons of diesel oil and algae products into the sea just before Endeavour soared overhead to see if the radar could distinguish between the two substances.
to Earth. They thought they could discern the two oil slicks from the five patches of algae, but wanted to analyze the images further to make sure, said Franz-Peter Spaunhorst, a spokesman for the German space agency, which helped coordinate the experiment.
There was tension on both sides of the Atlantic, and in space, until the radar pictures started streaming down.
Enandeavour's six tiny steering jets shut down Wednesday because of a failed temperature sensor, preventing the radar instruments from being aimed properly and forcing some targets to be scrapped. NASA put together a computer program to bypass the
sensor and restore use of the jets, but not in time for the spill.
To save the experiment, astronaut Daniel Bursch took manual control of the jets and accurately pointed the radar instruments at the 106 gallons of diesel oil and 26 gallons of algae by products. The slinks covered a small area about 18 miles west of the German island of Sylt and required precision pointing.
"I was very pleased that we were able to catch this scene because it was the only chance between two days of bad weather," said Herwig Oettl, a German who monitored the experiment from Mission Control in Houston.
Brazil's finance minister elected next Brazilian president
The Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — President-elect Fernando Henrique Cardoso did such a good job hiding from the press, even President Clinton could not find him for a word of congratulation.
After casting his vote Monday in his hometown of São Paulo, Brazil, Cardoso did a disappearing act that baffled Brazilian journalists who wanted to see the next leader of the world's third-largest democracy.
As he built up a commanding lead in the vote count, his Brazilian Social Democratic Party confirmed that
even the White House, like most Brazilians, was asking where he was.
On Wednesday, the 63-year-old Cardoso emerged from a friend's ranch in the interior of São Paulo state.
He flew to Brasilia, the capital, to meet party leaders and said he would address the nation today.
With 39 percent of the 95 million ballots counted late Wednesday, Carosho had 45 percent, followed by former union leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva with 21 percent, according to election officials.
Those figures confirmed exit polls that already declared Cardoso, who became a national hero by slashing
Brazil's 5,000 percent-a-year inflation as finance minister, winner of the eight-candidate race.
Among his first official acts will be to review the progress of the anti-inflation plan that propelled him to victory.
The Real Plan, which launched a new currency called the real on July 1 and tied its value to the dollar, cut inflation from 50 percent a month in July to just 1.5 percent last month.
it restored credit and buying power among the poor, who are a third of Brazil's population, and kicked off a nationwide spending spree.
He scanned the newspapers for anything about the shooting, but never saw any mention of it.
PHILADELPHIA — He shot a man young enough to be his son and left him for dead, heaped on the sidewalk, a bullet in his head. Then he paused to calm his pounding heart, walked a block or so to his car and drove home.
The story made the telephone lines at the radio station light up.
The Associated Press
That was the tale the man told in an anonymous letter he wrote to a radio talk show host. He told of how the young man had a gun, his companion had a knife, and they were going to rob him.
"He should be congratulated," one caller said. "He did the right thing," said another. "He should have shot them both," several said.
Of 23 callers to the "Susan Bray Show" on WWWDB on Wednesday, 21 said the middle-age man should, by no means, confess to police or regret what he did.
"They were very vitriolic," Bray said. "They were fed up with crime, fed up with the legal system. They thought it was skewed toward the rights of the perpetrators."
Anonymous man confesses to shooting
No one, not even the two callers who advised the man to confess, said they thought he was the criminal.
The man gave no details on when and where the shooting took place. Police said they do not have enough information to sav whether it even happened.
"We might have some cases that fit, but we won't want to speculate as to which one this might be," said homicide Capt. John Apeldorn.
According to his letter, the man was pushing 50, self-employed, and had an appointment in the neighborhood at night to give an estimate on some kind of job. He had a license to carry a gun because he'd been robbed before.
He crossed the street when he saw the two young men. They crossed, too. Only when they verbally threatened him did he react. he said.
He didn't call police because he feared he'd be the one punished.
