NATO allies
threaten to hit
Bosnian Serbs
with air strikes
Envoy stops Liberian relief shipments
Private agencies threaten
fragile peace, U.N. says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS, Belgium — After
rebuffing Washington's first call
to bomb Serbian targets, the
NATO allies have gone along
with a U.S. plan for limited air
strikes against the Bosnian Serbs.
It remains unclear how quickly
the NATO warplanes will be
called in. Also unclear is who has
authority to order the strikes.
The allies' decision to back the
American initiative was attrib
uted to attacks on peacekeepers
and a worsening of conditions
that could end in the defeat of the
Bosnian government.
On Tuesday, the North At
lantic Treaty Organization or
dered contingency plans drawn
up for its first offensive military
operation in its 44-year history.
The decision to go on the of
fensive marked a radical shift in
the allies' position.
Last May, Secretary of State
Warren Christopher was unable
to persuade Washington's allies
to support air strikes and end the
U.N. weapons embargo on Bosnia
that has hurt the outgunned Mus
lims most of all.
Britain, France and others with
thousands of peacekeepers on the
ground in Bosnia flatly refused to
endanger their soldiers with an
air operation.
After 12 hours of wrangling in
Brussels, the holdouts changed
their minds. Diplomats attributed
the turnaround in part to the de
teriorating conditions in Bosnia.
U.N. peacekeepers have be
come targets in the 16-month-old
war. Gunners recently fired on
French and Spanish peacekeepers,
killing one Spaniard and wound
ing 17 others.
Diplomats said, the allies be
lieved that a tough warning of air
strikes could help force the war
ring Serbs, Croats and Muslims to
reach a settlement at peace talks
in Geneva.
The allies don't want the situa
tion to get so bad that the Bosnian
government will have no choice
but to capitulate.
MONROVIA, Liberia — The U.N. special envoy to Liberia has
halted secret shipments of food to tens of thousands of starving peo
ple in rebel-held territory, a move relief groups say could cost thou
sands of lives.
The U.N. envoy, Trevor Gordon-Somers, asked the government of
Ivory Coast on Monday to stop private relief agencies from traveling
from that country into Liberian territory controlled by rebel leader
Charles Taylor.
A copy of the letter obtained by The Associated Press said the aid
shipments would endanger the precarious peace agreement signed a
week ago by the warring factions in Liberia's civil war.
Gordon-Somers' New York office said he was on vacation and no
one was authorized to speak on his behalf.
Relief groups said the move threatens more than 220,000 refugees
living in the rain forest between the front lines of Taylor's rebels and
their enemies: a Nigerian-led West African coalition army and twooth-
\er Liberian factions.
"There are 25,000 children suffering from malnutrition in this area,"
said the Rev. Kenneth Vavrina, head of U.S. Catholic Relief Services in
Liberia.
"This is a scandal. We're barely keeping the boat afloat," said Lucas
Van Den Broeck, coordinator for Doctors Without Borders. "You are
paying for the peace process with thousands of lives."
Both relief groups are contributing aid to convoys being run by Doc
tors Without Borders of Holland.
Vavrina said one-third of the 25,500 malnourished children just
north of Kakata, which is at the front lines, are so malnourished that
they will die within three weeks without help.
An estimated 500 children are dying weekly north of Kakata, said Paul
Bonard, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Liberia.
Children are initially the most vulnerable to starvation, but relief
workers said adults also are at risk. People are also dying from tropical
diseases at a greater rate because of their weakened condition.
There are several other pockets of displaced people, many of them
residents of Sierra Leone who fled into Liberia when rebels in Sierra
Leone launched a rebellion in concert with Taylor's revolt.
Relief to people in Taylor's territory is a volatile political issue. The
West African army has shot at and bombed relief groups trying to
reach Taylor's territory, claiming the convoys were carrying arms.
