Subject: U.N. troops evacuate 300 from war-torn Sarajevo
Date: 13 Aug 92 13:04:00 GMT

	BELGRADE (UPI) -- The U.N. Protection Force evacuated an estimated 300
Muslim Slav and Croatian women and children from war-torn Sarajevo, but
the Muslim Slav-led government of Bosnia-Hercegovina complained it was
not a party to the agreement.
	Also Wednesday, sporadic artillery exchanges and clashes between
Sarajevo's predominantly Muslim Slav defenders and encircling guerrillas
of the Yugoslav army-armed Serbian Democratic Party left at least three
people dead and 11 wounded since Tuesday, Sarajevo Radio reported.
	A producer for ABC News, David Kaplan, was killed Thursday in
Sarajevo by sniper fire.
	ABC newsman Sam Donaldson, in Sarajevo, said in a telephone interview
with ABC News in New York the TV crew arrived at t he Sarajevo airport
and boarded two vehicles.
	``David was in a vehicle that did not have armor plating,'' Donaldson
said.
	Donaldson said Kaplan was killed by a single shot from a rifle.
	``It came though the thin skin of the vehicle. It hit David in the
back, it came out the lower abdomen. He was rushed to the hospital...The
doctors put him right on the operating table. They tell me that he had
lost so much blood, the high velocity bullet had done so much damage
that there really wasn't much of a chance. They worked for about two
hours, but finally he died.''
	Fighting also was reported in other areas of the newly independent
former Yugoslav republic, including around the central town of Jajce and
Olovo, to the northeast of Sarajevo.
	Both towns are held by Muslim Slav and Croatian forces, and have been
under attack by Serbian Democratic Party fighters seeking to carve out a
self-proclaimed ``Serbian republic'' within Bosnia-Hercegovina.
	Also Wednesday, the U.N. High Commission for Refugees rejected a
Serbian demand that it receive up to 28,000 mostly Muslim Bosnian
refugees living near four towns surrounded by Serb-held territory, and
said it was moving protection and monitoring forces into the area to
ensure their safety.
	And the International Committee of the Red Cross, also headquartered
in Geneva, said its delegates visited a new Serbian-run detention camp
in Bosnia but that it so far found no evidence of alleged human rights
atrocities.
	In Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Hikmet Cetin warned his country
would seek ``other ways'' to stop attacks on Muslims by Serbs in Bosnia-
Hercegovina, in a lightly veiled voice of support for Iranian
suggestions of a joint military force to protect Muslim minorities in
the disintegrating Yugoslav republic.
	In Bonn, Chancellor Helmut Kohl said his country could give
logistical support to a multinational military force for the former
Yugoslavia, but said Germany's Nazi past ruled out its actual
participation in such an operation.
	And in Zagreb, final figures showed President Franjo Tudjman was the
clear winner in the Aug. 2 elections and the Croatian Democratic Union
won 85 of the 124 seats in parliament, enough for an absolute majority
and a continued monopoly on power.
	The 300 Muslim Slav and Croatian women and their children left
Sarajevo on Wednesday in a convoy of five buses taking them to Croatia's
Adriatic port city of Split under the protection of two UNPROFOR armored
personnel carriers.
	The evacuation was the first under an accord reached by Serbian
leaders, UNPROFOR and the Children's Embassy charity as a part of a plan
to allow the flight of thousands from Sarajevo, which has been under
siege and nearly incessant shellfire from Serbian forces seeking to
partition the city into ethnic districts.
	The Sarajevo government protested the evacuation, however, claiming
it was not a party to the agreement.
	Sarajevo Radio said the government claimed the convoy's passage
through Serb-held territory would be ``unsafe and may well lead to a
tragedy similar to the event when two children were shot Aug. 2 under
similar circumstances.''
	It was referring to an unofficial German-organized evacuation of
orphans in which two infants were shot dead, allegedly by Serbian
snipers.
	The government argued that UNPROFOR should have put the children and
their mothers aboard some of the planes that are flying daily into
Sarajevo in the U.N.-organized international humanitarian airlift.
	The relief effort continued in Sarajevo, with the arrival of 24
planes carrying food and medicine for the estimated 300,000 people
trapped in Sarajevo in deteriorating conditions.
	``Some 256 metric tons of relief supplies were trucked into the city
by the U.N. High Commission for Refugees,'' UNPROFOR spokesman Fred
Eckhart said.
	Tens of thousands of civilians were killed and injured in the past
four months, and more than 1.2 milllion Muslim Slavs, Serbs and Croats
have been forced to flee their homes in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
	The war began in late March when militant Serbs began their land-grab
campaign in a bid to pre-empt international recognition of its
independence from the wreckage of former Yugoslavia.
	Most of the 1.4 million Christian Orthodox Serbs support the SDP's
goal to partition the republic into three ethnic regions and merge its
self-declared ``Serbian state'' to the rump Yugoslav union of Communist-
ruled Serbia and Montenegro.
	The 1.9 million Muslim Slavs and most of the 750,000 Roman Catholic
Croats preferred independence. Some Croats, however, favor merging their
enclaves with neighboring Croatia.
