Bosnian war may get bloodier
Serbs threaten officials with more attacks
The Associated Press
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnia's warring sides appeared determined to settle scores on the battlefield yesterday, while U.N. officials expressed concern at threats and restrictions hampering peace keepers.
The leader of Bosnian Serbs warned his troops would sweep across Bosnia — and could even take Sarajevo — if government forces continued recent advances.
A government defense official, meanwhile, said the military draft
was under review, and if it were tightened the Bosnian army could possibly double its numbers from 200,000 to 400,000.
The warring sides "appear determined to plunge Bosnia into a new war with incalculable consequences for the region as a whole," said the top U.N. official in former Yugoslavia, Yasuhi Akashi.
Serbs prevented Norwegian Foreign Minister Bjoern Tore Godal from entering Sarajevo yesterday, said U.N. spokesman Maj. Herve Gourmelon. Godal had planned to visit Norwegian peace keepers in the northeastern city of Tuzla, which is held by Bosnia's Muslim-led government.
In apparent retaliation for recent government gains near Tuzla and in central Bosnia, Serbs have shelled several cities and towns the past five days, killing two civilians and injuring at least two dozen others.
While criticizing the government for its offensives, the United Nations also warned that Serb shelling of civilians in "safe areas" could trigger NATO air strikes.
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic warned that if such strikes occur, the more than 500 peace keepers on Serb-held territories will be treated as enemies.
Akashi said peace keepers increasingly were being prevented from carrying out their mission.
Those peace keepers are vulnerable to being taken hostage to prevent NATO air strikes, as happened last November. "It is a matter of grave concern," said U.N. spokesman Alexander
In three Serb-surrounded eastern enclaves, peace keepers were so short of fuel and food that the United Nations is now considering air-dropping supplies to them. Serbs have refused to give permission for supply convoys.
Peace keepers' movements were also being restricted in areas where the Bosnian government was advancing.
If the offensives continue, "there will be no more territorial bargaining and they will have only what they can keep militarily," Karadzic told the Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA.
Heavy snow across much of Bosnia restricted combat yesterday. Government forces continued to attack a vital Serb communications tower in mountains near Tuzla, while Karadzic claimed Serb forces were poised to reclaim government gains on another front near Travnik in central Bosnia.
"If they don't want a political agreement over the division of Sarajevo, then Sarajevo will be Serbian," he added.
WWII criminal receives early release from imprisonment
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch released their last imprisoned Nazi war criminal yesterday after he served 28 months of his original life sentence for betraying Jews and resistance workers to the Nazis.
Jacob Luijten, 75, was convicted in absentia in 1948 by a Dutch war tribunal. He began serving his sentence in November 1992, when he was deported from Canada, where he had made a new life as a botany instructor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
Then-Justice Secretary Aad Kosto recommended the early release last year, citing Luitjen's age and reductions of sentences for similar offenders.
Luitjens was among 15,000 Dutchmen who volunteered to serve in Nazi auxiliary military organizations and local police groups during the five-year wartime occupation of the Netherlands.
His release — a few weeks before the Dutch celebrate the 50th anniversary of the country's liberation — was criticized by Jewish groups.
"I think this is very, very unlucky timing," said Ronny Nafiankel of the Hague-based Center for Information and Documentation on Israel. "Criminals have to be convicted and imprisoned if they are still alive."
Dutch Justice Ministry spokesman Wiebe Alkema said Luijens has applied to return to Canada, where his wife still lives. He refused to reveal Luijens' current whereabouts.
But, she said, given "his conviction in the Netherlands, and the fact he has been involved in activities termed in Canada as war crimes ... if he were to apply, he would clearly be inadmissible."
Canadian authorities stripped Luitjens of his citizenship when it became clear he lied about his Nazi past on immigration documents.
Fearing reprisals after the war, Luitjens gave himself up to Dutch authorities, but escaped and fled to Paraguay before he could be brought to trial. He emigrated to Canada in 1961.
Doctors encourage use of morning-after pill
Surveyed group says contraceptive is safe legal and effective
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Most doctors don't recommend morning-after pills, and few patients know they are a safe, effective and legal way to interrupt a possible pregnancy, according to two surveys.
A small group of doctors, public health officials and family planning workers is trying to change that. They wrote the book, Emergency Contraception: The Nation's Best Kept Secret, that includes a list of 1,477 doctors willing to prescribe the pills. The doctors also posted the list on the Internet.
The surveys were commissioned by a nonprofit health
wall of a woman's uterus. Doctors can legally prescribe them, but no drug company has ever sought to market the contraceptives as a morning-after pill. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects.
The morning-after pill is different from RU-486, the French-made drug that actually induces abortions. RU-486 is currently being tested in the United States, but does not yet have approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
Advocates say morning-after pills work 75 percent of the time and can be taken up to three days after sex, not just the morning after.

research group, the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"Our country prides itself on people having choices, and given the twin problems of unintended pregnancy and abortion, you would think this ought to deserve closer attention," Mark Smith, executive vice president of the foundation, said Tuesday. But many abortion opponents are against the use of the morning-after pills, too.

In a survey of 270 sexually active women who didn't want to become pregnant, 60 percent had heard of the pills but only 20 percent knew they can be taken up to 72 hours after sex. A total of 47 percent said they would be likely to use the pill if necessary to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The survey, conducted by telephone last fall, has a margin of error of

In a separate poll of 300 obstetrician-gynecologists, nearly all were familiar with the procedure. Some 88 percent called it safe and 85 percent called it effective.
Some 56 percent objected to abortion and would never perform one. But of that group, 84 percent didn't have the same objections about the morning-after pills.
Nearly all the doctors said they rarely suggest the procedure to their patients. The doctor survey has a margin of error of 5.7 percentage points.
Abortion opponents are opposed to more widespread use of the pills.
Trial to decide whether man is sex predator
The Associated Press
OLATHE—A Johnson County judge has ordered an Olathe man to stand trial next week to determine whether he is a sexual predator.
District Judge Peter Ruddick held a hearing Tuesday to determine whether prosecutors have the right to ask a jury to commit Kenneth Hay to an indefinite stay in a state mental facility after his release from prison later this year.
Rudick said he questioned the constitutionality of the state's Sexual Predator Act but denied a defense motion to dismiss the case.
Hay, 35, is the first person in Johnson County to be designated a sexual predator by prosecutors under a law passed last year by the Kansas Legislature. The act was enacted to keep sex offenders in custody after they have completed their prison sentences.
District Attorney Paul Morrison argued the act is constitutional and cited opinions from several other states that already have faced constitutional challenges to sexual
Defense attorney Nancy Orrick argued the act violated basic constitutional rights.
Morrison said he filed the case against Hay because mental health experts have determined Hay is an untreatable pedophile who preys on young girls. Hay was convicted of luring girls, raging in age from 6 to 11, to his car under the pretense of giving them free puppies.
predator acts.
He pleaded guilty to five counts of aggravated indecent solicitation and was sentenced to 38 months in prison on those charges. He is scheduled to be released later this year.
However, if the jury decides Hay is a sexual predator, he will be ordered after his release into the custody of the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services for an indefinite period of time. He has the right each year to ask for a jury trial.
not a sexual predator, he will be placed in a two-year intensive post-release supervision program.
If the jury next week decides he is
The trial, which is expected to last three days, is scheduled to begin Monday.
Hay remains in the Johnson County Adult Detention Center in lieu of bond.
