Clinton promises ‘no more empty threats’
WASHINGTON — The Clinton
administration called on its allies
Monday to extend a protective shield
to civilians in Sarajevo by threatening
air strikes if Bosnian Serbs continue
their attacks. No more empty threats,
the president said.
The aim is to end the siege of the
Bosnian capital, where 68 civilians
were killed and some 200 injured in a
mortar attack on a Muslim market
place Saturday.
It would require a change of heart
by the European governments to whom
the Clinton administration has as
signed the primary responsibility for
ending the fighting in the Balkans.
In Houston, Clinton answered
questions about why the Serbs should
take this latest threat of air strikes
seriously, given the West’s previous
saber-rattling.
“Let’s see what happens in the next
couple of days,” the president said.
“You know what I feel about that. I
don’t think we should have any more
empty threats.”
The NATO allies last year blocked
a U.S. appeal to both lift an arms
embargo against the Muslim-led gov

emment and to bomb Bosnian Serb
artillery and mortar sites if attacks
continued.
Partly out of concern U.N. peace
keepers might get caught in the oross
fire, the allies shied away from force
ful intervention. Continued blood-let
ting from what Secretary of State
Warren Christopher called “unaccept
able actions” by the Serbs was expect
ed this time to result in allied unity.
“We expect the North Atlantic
Council will decide on a course of
action, on an overall strategy, within
the next few days,” Christopher said
after President Clinton’s senior advis
ers met for a second day at the White
House.
The NATO meeting will be held
Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium. The
ambassadors to NATO from the 16
allied countries are expected to at
tend.
In Brussels, European Union for
eign ministers Monday urged the
NATO nations to use all means, in
cluding the use of air power, to lift the
siege of Sarajevo.
U.N. Secretary-General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali on Sunday asked the
NATO allies to authorize use of air
power in response to the shelling of
Sarajevo.
Clinton, in a speech in Houston,
said he had long hoped the U.N. offi
cial would take the step. Thepresident
said, though, that “until those folks
get tired of killing each other over
there bad things will continue to hap
pen.”
Christopher said he expected the
NATO Council to approve Boutros
Ghali’s proposal to give commanders
on the ground authority to call for air
attacks.
Vietnamese release remains of 12 soldiers
HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam
turned over to the United States what
are believed to be the remains of 12
more Americans missing from the
Vietnam War, four days after Presi
dent Clinton lifted a trade embargo.
“This is the first repatriation cere
mony since the embargo has been
lifted,” Army Lt. Col. John C. Cray,
head of the U.S. MIA office in Hanoi,
said. “I think that instead of hurting,
it will in fact enhance our process.
But Cray said that while the Viet
namese government was not holding
back remains of the MIAs as a bar
gaining tool for the next step — the
resumption of diplomatic ties — he
believed that villagers may have been
holding them or at least knew about
them. Some of the remains the United
States received Monday were turned
in by villagers.
President Clinton had made the
lifting of the 19-year embargo contin
gent on Hanoi’s cooperation and
progress in the fullest possible ac
counting of MIAs.
U.S. veterans’ groups and families
of MIAs opposed the end of the em
bargo, saying the United States would
lose its leverage in forcing Vietnam to
cooperate in accounting tor the 2,238
American MIAs.
But Cray said that since the lifting
of the embargo, the Vietnamese had
shown their commitment to the fullest
possible accounting, and over the past
weekend made final plans to join more
than 100 American specialists in an
other major search operation begin
ning Feb. 26.
“I believe that they will continue to
work with us,” Cray said.
The repatriation ceremony had
been planned weeks in advance of the
lifting of the embargo, and the Viet
namese were not holding back re
mains as families of MI As and veter
ans groups have charged.
