Serbs seize strategic position
Muslim defense lines broken in 3 places on Mount Igman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Bosnian
Serb fighters pressed their drive to take a strategic
mountain at the edge of Sarajevo on Sunday while
desperation grew in the capital over dwindling
food and supplies.
The Serbs broke through defense lines on Mount
Igman in three places Saturday and shelled govern
ment positions, state-run Bosnian radio reported.
Capture of the mountain, which overlooks Saraje
vo's airport, would be a major strategic and psycho
logical blow to Bosnia's Muslim-led government.
Government army sources acknowledged the attack,
but said defense lines were holding.
Fierce fighting also was reported a few miles west
of the capital in Hadzici.
The assaults boosted pressure on Bosnian leaders
to accept a Serb-Croat plan to end the war by por
tioning Bosnia into ethnic Serb, Croat and Muslim
mini-states.
Gen. Ratko Mladic, commander of Bosnian Serb
forces, also intensified the pressure in an interview
published Sunday in the Belgrade daily newspaper
Vecernje Novosti.
"I will no longer allow the Muslims do one thing,
talk another and think something else still," he said.
"They must lay down their weapons."
He said he hoped Sarajevo's fate could be re
solved by "political means," but added that he
would no longer allow Sarajevo to be supplied
through international organizations.
"The world must get that clearly," he said.
Sarajevo is running short of fuel to run generators
at the main hospital, bakery and water pumping sta
tions. Serbs let some U.N. supplies reach the city last
Thursday after blocking them for nearly two weeks
at the airport.
Peter Kessler of the U.N. High Commissioner for
Refugees said Sunday that Croats and Serbs had
blocked more than half of the relief supplies headed
toward Bosnia.
"This is sheer obstructionism, sheer inhumanity
to man," he said.
Japanese vote for reform,
shake party strongholds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — The Liberal Democratic Party, which led Japan from
postwar ruin to affluence hut became stained by scandal, lost to
newly strengthened opposition groups in elections Sunday that
could end the party's 38-year grip on power.
Results in the powerful 511-seat lower house of parliament
showed the LDP fell short of winning a majority.
That leaves the country's political compass spinning.
The LDP may be able to form a coalition government with other
parties and even retain the prime minister post. The opposition par
ties and independents also could form their own coalition, hut that
appeared unlikely given their ideological differences.
Whoever takes power, Japan is likely to have its weakest govern
ment in decades. Any new leader would have a difficult time
changing policies and practices set by powerful bureaucrats.
Reform was a buzzword in most of the campaigns. All parties
promised to toughen campaign-finance laws and change the elec
toral system to reduce the cost of campaigns.
The LDP, in particular, has been the focus of several scandals in
which huge amounts of money were channelled to politicians.
The election also was viewed as a major turning point for
Japanese democracy, an opportunity for development of a more
effective political opposition to counterbalance the still dominant
Liberal Democrats.
"This was a difficult election, and that difficulty is reflected in
the results," said a grim Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, the
LDP president.
'T feel a beginning of a new era that is a break from the past,"
said Satsuki Eda, head of the small opposition United Social Demo
cratic Party.
The absence of strong politicians to control the competing inter
ests of the major mmistries also could hinder trade negotiations
with the United States and other nations.
U.N. considers
progress made
in Iraq standoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.N. en
voy Rolf Ekeus spoke of progress
Sunday after two rounds of talks
with Iraqi officials on a standoff
over long-term monitoring of
Iraq's weapons programs.
Ekeus, who heads the U.N.
commission overseeing the de
struction of Iraq's weapons of
mass destruction, refused to spec
ulate on the outcome of his mis
sion. But he said his planned de
parture Sunday was postponed a
day to allow for further talks.
"We have cleared a large num
ber of issues," he said after a
31/2-hour evening session. "Now
we have to sum up the results."
Asked if he was optimistic, he
said: "It is too early to give
promises. ... You can't decide the
outcome of the talks until you see
the results."
Ekeus arrived Thursday to try
and head off a possible U.N. mili
tary strike on Iraq over its refusal
to allow U.N. surveillance cam
eras at the Yawm Al-Azim and
Al-Rafah missile sites, 45 miles
south of Baghdad. Iraq rejected a
U.N. compromise to seal key
equipment at the sites until the
camera issue was resolved.
Somali warlord orders retaliation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOGADISHU, Somalia —
Fugitive warlord Mohamed Farah
Aidid urged his followers Sunday
to rise up against the multination
al force in retaliation for U.S.-led
bombings of his strongholds.
"We cannot accept foreign
domination. I am asking the So
mali people to wake up and de
fend our independence," Aidid
said in a statement read by aides
to a rally of his Somali National
Alliance faction.
Aidid has been in hiding —
probably in southern Mogadishu
— since mid-June when U.N. spe
cial envoy Jonathan Howe or
dered his arrest. That order came
after a June 5 ambush by Aidid
followers killed 24 Pakistani
peacekeeping troops.
As the demonstrators listened to
Aidid's statement, U.S. helicopters
were seen above a neighborhood
about two miles away. The aircraft
was supporting U.N. forces carry
ing out weapons searches.
The troops were going house-
to-house in the Medina suburb
near the U.N. headquarters com
pound, which has been the target
of several mortar and gun attacks.
Much of Aidid's message was
repetitive sloganeering against the
United Nations and the approxi
mately 4,000 U.S. troops who are in
the peacekeeping force. Aidid
charges the United States with in
discriminately using gunships in
densely populated areas of the
south section of the city he controls.
"They call us warlords. We are
the peace lords," said Aidid,
whose fighters are blamed for at
tacks that have left 35 peacekeep
ers dead since June 5.
Aidid said the United Nations
was trying to impose a system of
control over Somalia without con
sulting him and other faction
leaders who he claimed represent
ed the majority of the east African
nation's 6.5 million people.
"They are talking with weak
people who have no support," he
said. "They want to return us to
colonialism."
Colorful paintings were on dis
play at the rally, showing blazing
buildings under attack by Ameri
can gunships and war planes. The
paintings were headlined "Aid
from America" and cartoon-type
balloons from the pilots' mouths
contained the message: "We have
come to help you."
In the last bombardment, July
12, an alleged command center of
Aidid fighters was hit by missiles
and heavy-caliber cannon, killing
57 people, according to the Inter
national Red Cross.
