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.

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.
