Brokered by the United States, the agreement would bring together two of the three parties in a bloody, two year ethnic conflict that has cost the lives of more than 200,000 people. Missing from the equation arc the Bosnian Serbs, who have military Control over more than half the former Yugoslav republic. The agreement creates a federation of cantons made up of areas where the majority of the population is cither Muslim or Croat. They would have equal rights, with a central govern ment responsible for foreign affairs, national defense and commerce. The president and vice president will be elected by a two-house legisla ture with the two ethnic groups alter nating yearly in holding the two posi tions. The government will be headed by a prime minister. The cantons will have authority over police, education, culture, hous ing, public services and radio and television. Signing of the agreement was planned at the State Department in a ceremony presided over by Secretary of State Warren Christopher. Serb leader Radovan Karadzic an nounced in Moscow an agreement to open the airfield at Tuzla in Bosnia and said the first relief plane to the city would be Russian. The Serbs are un der threat of NATO air strikes if they refuse to allow opening of the airport by next Monday. The agreement in Washington was reached after four days of intensive negotiations by Muslim and Croatian leaders. Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic said earlier in the day the talks were in their final stages. Israel releases 500 prisoners Hebron Occupied West Bank (AP) — Israel released more than 500 Pal estinian prisoners Tuesday to coax the PLO back to peace talks suspend ed after the Hebron mosque massacre, and said another 500 will be freed by the weekend. “I think the Israel is arc releasing us now to make the Palestinians happy.” freed prisoner Wacl Salamch,38,said when he arrived in Hebron. “This is not a real step for peace.” Samir Ghoshch. a member of the PLO’s ruling Executive Committee, dismissed the release as “irrelevant to the real issue of providing protection for our people.” He called it “cosmetic surgery” to dampen the violence that has swept the occupied territories and parts of Israel since Friday’s massacre. The PLO won’t resume peace talks with Israel unless “certain guarantees arc provided” to protect Palestinians living under occupation, he said. Israeli sources were optimistic the suspended talks will resume follow ing Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s offer of a package of concessions that go partway toward meeting PLO de mands. Western and Arab diplomats in Tunis. Tunisia, the PLO’s headquar ters, said Israel’s concessions include strengthening a Palestinian police force being deployed under the Sept. 13 PLO-Isracli peace accord in what will be self-rule areas in Gaza and the West Bank town of Jericho. Israel also would disarm settlers in those areas. Rabin alsoolTcred to allow interna tional observers into the territories for the first time since Israel captured them in the 1967 Mideast War. The PLO Executive Committee, the organization’s ruling body, reject ed the package early Tuesday in Tunis, saying it did not go far enough, said PLO Executive Committee member Ali Ishak. The worst stumbling block, said Ishak, was the offer of observers. The PLO wants an armed multinational protection force in the occupied lands. Rabin has ruled out putting the future of Jewish settlements on the agenda now. Arafat told U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher by telephone that he intended to send envoys to Wash ington to work on reopening talks with Israel on their accord on autono my in the West Bank city of Jericho and Gaza to the Palestinians. Gunman shoots at van carrying Jews New York (AP)—A van carrying Hasidic Jews home from a hospital visit to their spiritual leader was sprayed with bullets from a car Tues day. Four people were wounded, au thorities said. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said there was “no piece of information, hard evidence” linking the shooting to Fri day’s mosque massacre in the occu pied West Bank, in which a Jewish settler from Brooklyn killed at least 30 Muslim worshipers. “Obviously that’s something you can’t exclude, and the speculation is there,” he told reporters. Earlier, he said, the shooting at the Brooklyn Bridge had stemmed from a traffic dispute. “The driver of the vehicle says there wasn’t a traffic accident of any kind,” Chief of Detectives Joseph Borelli said.

The bridge was closed for several hours after the midmorning attack. The lone gunman opened fire three times, emptying at least five rounds into the white unmarked van carrying 14 to 16 Lubavitch Hasids, police said. Three 9mm shell casings were found on the highway ramp, leading investigators to bcl ieve they may have came from a powerful, quick-loading semi-automatic pistol. In Washington, U.S. Attorney Gen eral Janet Reno and FBI Director Lou is Freeh said they were monitoring the situation. Police said they had no confirmed description of the van attacker, and that witnesses’ descriptions were con flicting.
