May be time for
U.N. to leave Bosnia,
Boutros-Ghali says
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina
(AP) — Snubbed by Serbs and un
able to arrange a cease-fire, U.N.
Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-
Ghali said Wednesday it may be
time to send peacekeepers home.
Unless the Bosnian Serbs and
Muslim-led government agree to
talk peace and cooperate with the
United Nations, “it will become im
possible” to persuade the Security
Council to keep peacekeepers in
Bosnia, he said after a six-hour visit
to Sarajevo.
But he said he will not recom
mend a pullout “for the time being.”
Boutros-Ghali’s remarks were the
first time he has threatened a with
drawal. They reflect a growing frus
tration as the Serbs continue their
assault on Bihac, the Muslim-led
government refuses new concessions,
U.N. peacekeepers are being held
hostage and the Western alliance is
divided about how to respond.

“The whole aft half of the ship

U.S. Navy Lt. Paul Frost, who flew
over the site in the afternoon.
“Flames have progressed far for
ward in the ship.”
The ship’s owner, Genoa-based
Starlauro, said the blaze apparently
broke out in the passenger area, but
the cause was unknown.
But Dmitrios Skapinkais, the
Greek captain of the Treasure Is

came aboard to use his ship’s ra

the engine room.
By late evening, the liner was
listing 40 degrees to port,
Skapinkais said.
“I did not see the vessel sinking,
but maybe in the next 12 hours, if
any explosions come from the fuel
tanks ... the vessel is going to be
sinking,” he said.
The Achille Lauro was carrying 581
passengers and 404 crew members.
The cause of the fire, which
apparently began
in the passenger
cabin area,
was unknown.
