KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Yugoslavia (AP) — Fighting between peacekeepers and snipers, along with grenade attacks on ethnic Albanians, killed one person and reportedly wounded 19 Sunday in the bitterly divided city of Kosovska Mitrovica. Two of the wounded were French soldiers, hit by ethnic Al banian snipers firing from the northern, Serb-controlled part of the city, NATO officials said. “It was an attempt to kill our soldiers,” French spokesper son Lt. Col. Patrique Chanliau said. “We would like to believe it was an isolated incident of extremists, of terrorists.” One soldier was wounded in the stomach while on patrol in the Serb part of the city, Chanliau said. The second soldier was shot in the arm after NATO peacekeepers launched a counter attack, he said. The counterattack killed one of the snipers and wound ed five others. Grenade attacks on ethnic Albanian houses in the north wounded seven, NATO officials said. And an American with the U.N. police force was also injured by glass shards, after gunfire from outside broke the windows of a train he was riding on. Yugoslavia’s state-run news agency, Tanjug, said four more people, identified as Serbs, were wounded, at least some by snipers. Seventeen people were detained by late Sunday, NATO said, but gave no details. Peacekeepers imposed a curfew from sun set to daybreak.

SELL SOMETHING. The Battalion Classifieds Call 845-0569 BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Romania said Monday it would not pay compensation to any other country affected by a cyanide spill that contaminated two rivers — a spill rivaling one in the United States that cost $170 million to clean up. Romania said it, too, suffered damage when a dam at the Australian-owned Baia Mare gold mine in northwest Romania over flowed Jan. 30, sending cyanide pouring into streams that eventually carried the poison west into Hungary and Yugoslavia. “Romania had to suffer the most damage from the polluting company and thus it is en titled to get compensation as Hungary and Yugoslavia are," said Gabriel Dumitrascu of the Romanian Ministry of Environment. Serbia, the larger of two republics in Yu goslavia, banned the sale of most freshwa ter fish Monday, and Hungary warned of long term ecological damage as cleanup crews in the two countries pulled thousands of dead fish from the Tisza and Danube rivers. Serbian fishermen, wearing protective gloves, on Monday scooped dead fish from the Danube at the Belgrade suburb of Ze- mun. Downstream, water pumps were shut off in the Belgrade area town of Vinca, and authorities announced they would deliver fresh drinking water by truck as a precaution.
