U.N. judges concluded Dusan Tadic’s case by shaving five years off a 25-year sentence given to the Bosnian Serb police reservist for torturing and murdering Muslim and Croat prisoners. U.N. Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte welcomed the ruling, de spite the show of leniency to the 44- year-old, nicknamed Dusko. “We are hoping that this is the last the tri bunal will hear of Dusko Tadic, that he will be able to start serving his sentence,” said her spokesperson, Paul Risley. tribunal has convicted 13 Serbs, Mus lims and Croats, but Tadic’s case is the only one to have finished the appeals Guyana laid Tadi >|y he ini tiled "[Dusan Tadic's] level in the command structure, when compared to that of his superiors, or the very architects of the strategy of ethnic cleansing, was low." lure, when compai superiors, or the v the strategy ofethn low,” Shahabuddo Weapon^eir inspecto&hiv appoints r2 [ MUD N \TI0NS <■' J r T" ,h watchdogs JL It Bit ,*ap< l„ II.

Thai captors killed in commando raid BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Thai commandos who stormed a hospi tal in a hostage rescue mission killed some of the 10 captors after they surrendered, Thai media said today, citing hostages. Thai leaders and the public, how ever, have supported police and sol diers who stormed the hospital Tuesday, killing all the insurgents holding hundreds of patients and staff hostage in Ratchaburi, 60 miles west of Bangkok. Police have said all of the cap- tors were killed during the assault. They were identified as members of God's Army and the Vigorous Burmese Student Warriors, fringe rebel bands fighting the military regime in neighboring Myanmar. Thai police stepped up security today at Myanmar’s embassy in Bangkok and along the border to prevent revenge attacks. Four patients died from natural causes during the 22-hour siege. The rest of the hostages were freed unharmed by the commando raid. tJlofiG P**eq*uuiC4€ Ge+tt&iA. • * * OF BRAZOS VALLEY STILL HURTING FROM A PAST ABORTION?
