Bosnia explodes again; Westerners threatened
Violence follows after war crimes suspect killed
The Associated Press
PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Back-to-back explosions targeting Westerners raised fears yesterday of a violent Bosnian Serb campaign of retaliation for NATO moves to arrest war crimes suspects.
Late Monday, a blast broke dozens of windows on a block housing a senior administrator with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in Banja Luka, the largest Serb-held town in Bosnia.
On Sunday, a bomb exploded in a OSCE jeep in the eastern Bosnia town of Zvornik, shattering windows in a hotel and a nearby school.
"It's a miracle that nobody got wounded," OSCE spokesman Johan Verheyden said of Monday's attack,
in which it appeared a grenade had been thrown at the building.
"It's getting worse," Verheyden said. "We are looking into the possibility that this is a more orchestrated campaign."
In Washington, President Clinton warned Bosnian Serbs that it would be a grave mistake to retaliate.
The OSCE, which is overseeing September's local elections in Bosnia, tightened security for its people in Serb-held territory. The election work is part of the OSCE's overall effort to help enforce the peace accord that ended the 3 1/2-year Bosnian war.
Bosnian Serb leaders have accused NATO of overstepping the mandate for the peace troops it leads in divided Bosnia. They warn that further actions could prompt uncontrollable rage against foreign troops.
U. N. police repeatedly have been harassed since Thursday, when British troops in northern Bosnia killed a war crimes suspect who resisted arrest.
In Doboj, another eastern Serbheld town, an unknown Serb group printed leaflets containing death threats against the 30,000-member NATO-led force, which includes some 8,000 Americans.
Seventy-two members of the peace force, including 10 Americans, have died since it began work in December 1995. Another 235 members of the force have been injured. Road accidents or mines have been responsible for most of the casualties.
One U.S. soldier was killed yesterday and another was injured when their vehicle veered off the road en route from Banja Luka to Sarajevo, the NATO-led peace force said.
The peace force provided no further details on the crash, which occurred north of Donji Vakuf, about 65 miles southwest of Tuzla.
Both soldiers were with the Allied Military Intelligence Battalion based in Sarajevo. Their names were being withheld pending notification of their families.
American may fix Mir station
MOSCOW — With Mir's commander potentially sidelined by heart problems, Russia's Mission Control turned to NASA yesterday — proposing that the American astronaut on board try to repair the crippled space sts.

repair the crippled space station.
Vital repairs on the damaged spacecraft have been delayed while doctors look into Russian commander Vasily Tsiliyev's heart trouble. If it turns out to be a serious medical problem, Foale may have to don a spacesuit to help bring the station's energy system back up to full power.
Tapping Michael Foale to join the fix-it task force would be the biggest assignment ever for an American on the Russian Mir — and the riskiest.
"We haven't talked to Foale about that yet," said Mission Control chief Vladimir Solovyov. "Back on the ground,
designed to fix damage caused when a cargo ship collided with Mir on June 25, punching a hole in the Spektr module and halving the Mir's power.
he said he would be eager to do a spacewalk."
While lives aren't in danger, the Russians are eager to solve the problem before the next crew arrives Aug 5.
Officials still hope the two Russian cosmonauts in the three-man crew will be up to carrying out the repairs themselves after they are rested.
"We're going to take a good,hard look at it and look at the engineering and safety aspects of it."
Tsibilyev's heart trouble forced officials to postpone yesterday's scheduled repair session,

Tsibliyev or Russian crewmate Alexander Lazutkin had been scheduled to make the delicate trek into the Spektr—one of six modules that make up the orbital station. The Mir's crew hopes to hook up power cables that will allow the station to receive power from the Spektr's recently disengaged solar panels.
Foale could be called in for the job. While the work doesn't involve going outside the space station, it would mean going into sections of Mir that have been sealed off since the accident.
expect to make a decision until today — at the earliest — on whether to approve Foale's possible role.
NASA representative Eileen Hawley said NASA didn't
"We're going to take a good, hard look at it and look at the engineering and safety aspects of it," she said from Johnson Space Center in Houston.
