...Bunel is the second French officer exposed for passing secrets to the Serbs -- in April Major Herve Gourmelon was found to have tipped off Bosnian Serbs about planned NATO action. "The Pentagon has had a really jaundiced view of the French for a long time," says TIME Paris bureau chief Tom Sancton. The U.S. has in the past flatly rejected French demands for control of NATO's Southern Command, which has put the process of France's integration into NATO on hold.

Holbrooke is, of course, used to a little conflict. He emerged as America's trouble-shooting ambassador back in 1995, when he brokered the Bosnian peace.

While the murder of Lugar seems ordinary, his lawyer, TATOMIR LEKOVIC, claims Lugar was assassinated because he knew too much about the roles top Serbian officials played in the Bosnian war, a credible assertion given that the accused killer works for Slobodan Milosevic's secret service. Though the Serbian Interior Ministry denies a connection, at least four other wanted men have been killed, including RADOVAN STOJICIC BADZA, the militia commander who became the Serbian Deputy Minister of the Interior...
