Serbs to allow some support for evacuation
Muslim-led troops
break cease-fire
in eastern Bosnia
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
— The Bosnian Sorb military chief
agreed Monday to allow women, chil
dren and the elderly to flee two east
ern enclaves that his forces have sealed
off from international aid.
Gen. Ratko Mladic made the offer
to allow the partial evacuation of
Konjevic Polje and Srebrenica at talks
with Gen. Philippe Morillon, the U.N.
commander in Bosnia.
But as relief officials announced
plans to evacuate sick and wounded

from one area Tuesday, the com
mandcrof Bosnia’s
Muslim-led gov
ernment troops
opted for a military
response.
Scfer Halilovic
ordered a counter
attack against Serbs
in eastern Bosnia to
free thousands of trapped civilians.
The attack ended a unilateral cease
fire declared weeks ago by Bosnia’s
government forces.
Halilovic's order, broadcast on
Bosnian radio, said all available troops
of his army’s Tuzla-based 2nd Corps
should head toward Konjevic Polje
and Cerska. Bosnian radio quoted 2nd
Corps Cmdr. Hazim Sadie as saying

extremely urgent on

grounds.

the counter-offensive was underway.
On Sunday, U.N. Secretary-Gen
eral Boutros Boutros-Ghali warned
warring Muslims, Serbs and Croats
that failure to accept a U.N. peace
accord partitioning Bosnia into 10
province could prompt the dispatch of
U.N. ground forces to enforce a peace.
In Belgium, the European Com
munity on Monday gave Serbs two
weeks to sign the U.N. agreement or
face tougher sanctions.
“There really is no alternative,”
said Danish Foreign Minister Niels
Helveg Petersen.
Both Serbs and Muslims still reject
key elements of the plan.
In Washington, the United States
has received pledges from some east
ern European nations for stricter en
forcement of U.N. sanctions on Yu
goslavia.
Mladic told The Associated Press
he proposed to Morillon that old
people, women and children be evac u
ated from the two enclaves^.
Anders Levinsen, representing the
U.N. High Commissioner for Refu
gees in the northeastern city of Tuzla,
vf . ' f
said a U.N. convoy would head for
Konjevic Polje on Tuesday to
evacuate civilians.
He reported tentative plans to send
relief supplies Thursday by road into
Srebrenica, where aid officials made
new appeals for emergency aid for a
growing number of wounded and sick.
Levinsen stressed the Srebrenica
convoy would deliver aid, not evacu
ate the wounded, as Dr. Simon Mardell
of the World Health Organization rec
ommended.
“The medivac is extremely urgent
on humanitarian grounds,” Levinsen
quoted Mardell as reporting by radio
from Srebrenica. “These are the worst
hospital conditions! have ever seen in
my years of work in Afghanistan,
Liberia and other places.”
Cult leader says group is prepared tor war
WACO, Texas—A heav ily armed
cult’s leader seems eager to provoke
another gunfighl to fulfill his apoca
lyptic prophecies, telling negotiators,
“We arc ready for war” and “Let’s get
it on,” the FBI said Monday.
As the cult’s standoff with hun
dreds of lawmen ground through its
ninth day, FBI spokesman Bob Ricks
disclosed detailsof telcphoneconver
sations that negotiators have had with
David Koresh and more than 30 fol
lowers.
Koresh claims to have explosives
that would blow the FBI’s Bradley
armored personnel carriers “40 or 50
feet into the air,” so the agency on
Monday moved in several o/-ton
Abrams main battle tanks for protec
tion, the spokesman said.
He said they would be unarmed
and strictly for defense.
Koresh says he has been prepared
for a fight since 1985, and some of his
Branch Davidian followers say they
are ready to follow him to their deaths,
Ricks said.
Koresh and his followers battled
with federal Bureau of Alcohol, To
bacco and Firearms agents for nearly
an hour on Feb. 28, killing four agents
and wounding 16; 10 cult members
also may have died.
Since then, hundreds of law en

FBI spokesman
forcemcnt officers have surrounded
the 77-acre compound.
“He has made such statements as,
‘We are ready for war.’ ‘Let’s get it
on.’ ‘Your talk is becoming in vain.’
‘I’m going to give you the opportu
nity to save yourselves before you get
blown away,”’ Ricks said.

Nevertheless, negotiaiionscontin

FBI official said negotiators have
talked with 33 people inside the com
pound. “Those that we spoke with on
each occasion verified that Mr. Koresh
had indicated that these individuals
were free to leave at any time.*'
