SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Immense war damage and the threat of chronic political instability leave Bosnia with a bleak future as the ministate envisioned in an international peace plan. When peace talks broke down in Geneva last week. President Alija Izetbegovic asserted Serbs and Croats were refusing concessions that would make a new, smaller Bosnia economically and politically viable. Without that, there would be no stability, and without stability, economists say, there is little hope for the future. "As a legal, independent, recognized country the new Bosnian re public has no chance of surviving, " said Ibrahim Colakhodzic, the economist in charge of the government development program. As the peace plan now stands, the new Bosnia would cover 31 per cent of its prewar territory. The Serbs and Croats, who together control 90 percent of the country, would get 52 percent and 17 percent, respec tively. Sarajevo would come under temporary U.N. administration. The future Bosnia would include most industrialized parts of the former Yugoslav republic. But displaced people would nearly double the population in those areas to around 2 million. The prewar economy was based on coal mining, electrical genera tion, steel mills, aluminum foundries, chemical plants and farming. The section left to the Bosnian government accounted for 29 percent of the 1990 gross national product and about 30 percent of the jobs, Co lakhodzic said.

An unidentified American diplomat attached to the U.S. liaison of fice in Mogadishu was shot in the chest after he and five colleagues ap parently stumbled onto the ambush, the official said. The diplomat was later listed in fair to good condition at an American military hospital. The U.N. forces later struck back with a helicopter attack in Mo gadishu, NBC News reported. The attack on the Nigerians was the deadliest assault on U.N. peace keepers in Somalia since June, when 24 Pakistani soldiers died. Seven other Nigerian soldiers were wounded Sunday, and one may have been captured. In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali de plored the deaths, and said they demonstrated "the urgent need" to disarm all of Somalia's factions. Retired Adm. Jonathan Howe, the U.N. special envoy to Somalia, called the ambush a "wanton, unprovoked and premeditated attack” 7 desire to pray and forgive' Pope to settle conflicts with Russian Church The Associated Press VILNIUS, Lithunia - Pope John Paul II reached out Sunday to the Russian Orthodox Church, and warned against the revival of an cient Euro pean divi sions and a desire to avenge mod ern-day op pression. On the second day of his visit to John Paul II this Roman Catholic strong hold of the former Soviet Union, the pope also went out of his way to send greetings to Moscow. The pontiff seemed intent on patching up differences with the 60-million-member Russian Orthodox Church, which made its own gesture by sending an envoy to Vilnius. The Russian church has ac cused the Vatican of overzeal- ous missionary activity in Rus sia, dealing a major setback to the pontiff's goal of a united, more "Christian" Europe in the post-Communist era. The pope began his day Sun day by paying tribute to Lithuania's suffering during 50 years of Soviet occupation. He prayed at the tombs of 18 people killed by tanks and gun fire during the 1991 uprising against Soviet power, and laud ed the quest tor freedom that "refused to bend before the dark and relentless waves of a violence that ignored God and debased humanity." But, he added, "I desire to pray and forgive." Tine tempta tion for revenge, he said, "al ways leads into useless labyrinths of hatred." The pope warned against "sinister new adventures, un dertaken under the blind im pulse of ideologies, of national pride and of willful refusal to acknowledge human dignity." The pope's words come at a time of strained relations be tween Moscow and the former Soviet Baltic republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Disputes center on the pace of Soviet troop withdrawals and the rights of the ethnic Russ ian minority, especially in Es tonia. The pontiff also will vis it Latvia and Estonia on his seven-day tour. Moscow annexed the three Baltic republics in 1940 in a se cret agreement with Nazi Ger many. The Vatican and many Western countries refused to recognize the annexation. The republics regained indepen dence in 1992 after the Soviet collapse. Bronislovas Jankauskas' 22- year-old son Rolandas was killed when Red Army tanks rolled into a crowd of pro-inde pendence demonstrators out side the Vilnius TV station on Jan. 13, 1991. He called the pope's visit to the cemetery a "great honor for the dead," but added: "You cannot forgive murders, but only murderers." The pope later celebrated an open-air Mass in a driving rain, speaking in Lithuanian, Polish and Russian to underline the scope of his message. >1.93 No Leader o llonday ttu imia table The Mov :!erest groi raid A&N Gene Per jganagric I of the fa( tialso the Perez sal 1 no culture I Nano con Toxic f, :otnece -It Irwin Tar ad former japes," wl Samond PI The videt acts includi aefarm wo Three hi odes used Tang sail iiited State These p: Stioss the n sent phem Tang saic .III "Organic lay, is just a pithy, just ; Tang said ive removi Monday, September 6,1993 'k Rec Facility Hotline 845-0737 k Read Court Reservations 845-2624 k Intramural Rain Out Info 845-2625 k Penberthy Golf Range 845-9655 k Outdoor Equipment Rental ...845-4511 k Rec Sports Office 845-7826 Exercise Classes Informal Recreation Instructional Clinics Intramurals Sport Clubs TAMU Outdoors Week At A Glance k k k Mon., Sept. 6 k Entries Open: k Preseason Flag Football Flag Football CoRec Indoor Soccer Windsurfing FUN damentals k Sea Kayaking Matagorda Wildlife Refuge Rec Sports Fair 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Rudder Fountain Flag Football & Indoor Soc cer Officials’ Orientation Mtg.- 6 p.m., 267 GRW Sport Clubs Need A Job?
