BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA : Serbian Mob Stones Muslim Women’s Bus

A mob of about 250 Bosnian Serbs stoned a busload of Muslim women trying to enter Serb-held land to plant a tree of peace where some of the war’s worst atrocities occurred, a NATO spokesman said. Two women were reportedly injured slightly in the attempt to enter the town of Kozarac in the Prijedor area of northwestern Bosnia, where Serbs drove out Muslims and Croats with particular ferocity during the 3 1/2-year war. The women’s inability to cross into Serbian territory underscored the failure of the Bosnian peace agreement to guarantee the crucial freedom of movement it promises.
