Serb forces fight door-to-door
in remaining Bosnian safe zone
SARAJEVO (AP) — Bosnia
Herzegovina — Rebel Serbs were re
ported in hand-to-hand combat Mon
day with defenders of the last govern
ment stronghold in northwest Bosnia.
Western diplomats, stung by the
United Nations’ inability to save the
“safe zone,” scrambled to broker a
cease-fire.
There was little sign that Bosnia’s
Serbs would agree to one—except on
their terms. They have seized up to 40
percent of the safe zone in the Bihac
enclave that was declared off-limits
to combat by the United Nations, and
they were intent on forcing the gov
ernment garrison there to surrender.
The Serbs’ war gains have created
a crisis for the international commu
nity. Three NATO airstrikes on Serb
positions last week were ineffective,
and more than 400 U.N. peacekeep
ing troops have been detained by the
Serbs to ward off more attacks.
Britain’s defense secretary criti
cized remarks by Senate Republican
leader Bob Dole that Britain and
France were partly to blame for the
failure of the U.N.-NATO mission in
Bosnia. Both countries fear NATO
i
attacks would trigger Serb retaliation
against their peacekeeping troops^
The Serbs launched the war 2 1/2
years ago when they rebelled against
a move by Bosnia's Croats and Mus
lims to secede from Yugoslavia. The
war has left 200.000 people dead or
missing. J , . .
Diplomats renewed their empha
sis on a negotiated settlement after
the NATO secretary-general, Willy
Claes, and U S. Defense Secretary
William Perry acknowledged Sunday
that NATO was powerless to stop the
Serbs
U.N. officials have been pressing
the Musi im-lcd government to accept
a peace settlement offered by the Serbs
on condition they keep the 70 percent
of Bosnia they now hold.
A U.N. official traveled to Bosnian
Serb headquarters in Pale, just out
side Sarajevo, to discuss cease-fire
terms. Diplomats at a foreign minis
ters meeting of the European Union
in Brussels said a cease-fire was be
ing discussed there as well.
Members of the so-called Contact
Group, rcprescnli ng the U niled States,
Russia, Britain, France and Germany,
were meeting witn merman President
Slobodan Milosevic, the traditional
patron of Bosnia’s Serb minority.
The Bosnian Serbs have rejected a
contact group peace plan that would
give them 49 percent of Bosnia in
stead of the 70 percent they hold. The
government has accepted the plan.
In Bihac, Serb forces were 250 to
500 yards from the town’s center and
moving house to house, Mayor
Hamdija Kabiljagic reported. He
claimed hand-to-hand combat oc
curred in some cases but there was no
independent confirmation.
“We don’t know how long we can
hold out,’’ Kabiljagic told foreign jour
nal ists in a conference call.
The commander of the
government’s 5th Corps in Bihac,
Gen. Atis Dudakovic, reported 114
government soldiers were killed or
wounded on Monday in the 32-square
mile Bihac area and that there were
94 casualties Sunday. There were no
casualty figures from the Serb forces
U.N. spokesman Maj. Herve
Gourmelon said one civilian was
killed Monday when two 120mm
mortar rounds struck.

Mass murderer slain in prison
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jef
frey Dahmer was attacked and
killed while cleaning a prison bath
room Monday in a gruesome end
for the former chocolate-factory
worker who strangled and dismem
bered 17 boys and men and ate
some of them.
Another inmate was being held
in Dahmer’s slaying and in the
severe beating of another prisoner
at Columbia Correctional Institu
tion. Authorities wouldn’t identify
the suspect, who was serving a life
sentence for murder, or offer a
motive.
All three men were working on
a cleaning detail in the recreation
area of the maximum-security
prison when the attack occurred.
A bloody broom handle was
found at the scene, but Corrections
Secretary Michael Sullivan said he
didn't know if it was the murder
weapon.
“One could surmise a number of
things. Their heads could have been
smashed against a wall.” Sullivan
said.
“There was a great deal ofblood
in the area of the attack." Correc
tions Department spokesman Joe
Scislowic/ said.
The 34-year-old Dahmer had
extensive head injuries and died at
a hospital about an hour after he
was found.
Dahmer, who had been impris
oned since his crimes came to light
in 1991, had been attacked once
before. In July, an inmate tried to
cut his throat during a chapel ser
vice, but the razor blade attached
to a plastic handle fell apart before
it could hurt Dahmer.
At the time, Sullivan said that it
appeared to have been an isolated
Attack on Dahmer
Jeffrey Dahmer, the mass murderer who cannibalized some of his
victims was killed Monday by a fellow inmate at Columbia Correctional
Institute in Fbrtage, Wis. Another inmate was injured in the attack.

incident and that Dahmer, who
was serving 16 life sentences, was
not believed to be in imminent
danger.
'^Qh my God! My son! How
could this happen?" Dahmer's
mother, Joyce Flint, saidwhenTV s
“Hard Copy” informed her of his
death.
The other victim in Tuesday’s
attack was Jesse Anderson, who
was serving a life sentence for stab
bing and bludgeoning his wife to
death.
“Dahmer had a death wish, and
1 know that he didn’t have the
gumption to do it himself, so I had
predicted that the day would come
when he would be killed in prison,”
said Gerald Boyle, Dahmer’s law
yer at trial.
“He never expressed fear,” his
stepmother, Shari Dahmer, told
WJW-TV in Cleveland. “From the
day he was arrested he felt he de
served anything that he got."
Dahmcr's gruesome past came
to light in July 1991, when a hand
cuffed man flagged down police
and led officers to Dahmer’s reek
ing apartment. Police later lugged
oil drums packed with body parts
from the one-bedroom apartment
Within days, the sandy-haired
factory worker had confessed to
killing 17 men and boys since 1978
in Milwaukee and Ohio.
Clinton marshals support
to pass trade agreement
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Clinton assembled the economic
stars from eight previous administra
tions on Monday to give a final push
for congressional approval of a 124
nation trade agreement.
“We have to do it now. We can't
wait until next year,” he declared.
The 22,000-page agreement
slashes tariffs by an average of 38
percent worldwide and expands the
rules of world trade into new areas
such as agriculture, services and the
firotection of copyrights and patents,
t creates a more powerful World
Trade Organization to referee trade
disputes and eliminates the power of
any one country to block an adverse
trade ruling.
Clinton said the trade deal would
add hundreds of thousands of U.S.
jobs, boost the average American
family’s income by $1,700 over the
next several years and provide the
biggest global tax cut in histoiy. He
also acknowledged fears that the
agreement could mean U.S. workers
would face even more competition
from low-wage workers in other coun
tries.
Supporters predicted that the re
write of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade would sail through
the House on Tuesday with perhaps
as many as 60 votes to spare.
But the fate of the trade deal was
far less certain in the 100-member
Senate, where it must win 60 votes on
a procedural question of waiving the
Senate’s budget rules.
