...Saturday the U.N. Security Council voted to permit NATO air strikes into Croatia, forcing NATO officials to confer nervously on how to put the resolution into effect. The escalating warfare could not have come at a worse time for the NATO allies and the members of the five-nation contact group that has been working on a plan to partition the country. Mired in their own disagreements over how to end the war, almost anything they might try seemed likely to add to the tensions. The Europeans, especially the French, are outraged at the U.S. decision to stop enforcing...
...NATO fighter planes from the United States, Britain and France struck at least two surface-to-air missile sites this morning in two air raids as Bosnian Serb fighters, for the first time, broke into the U.N.-designated safe haven of Bihac. The NATO raid was a more direct attack on a weapons site following Monday's attack on the same site that merely left craters in an airport runway as a warning. This week's Serb assault on Bihac, now held by Bosnian Muslims, has increasedinternational pressure for tougher NATO sanctionsand actions against the Serbs, who today reportedly threatened...
...NATO's massive attack on a Serb-held air base Monday seemed to have little impact as Serbs today set northwest Bosnian villages on fire, sending civilians fleeing for their lives.

...NATO's biggest attack in its 45-year history, 30 warplanes today bombed a base where Serbs equipped planes with napalm bombs used last week against the Bosnians in Bihac. TheNATO raidfollowed Saturday's U.N. resolution specifically authorizing an attack on Serb-held Croatia, the airfield location. U.S., British, French and Dutch jets were deployed in the air strike -- NATO's seventh since the Bosnian war started in April 1992 -- which will put the base out of commission for just a month. Yet, it represented a dramatic departure from previous "pinprick" NATO attacks in which one or two warplanes bombed...
Serb forces,defying stern United Nations warnings, today crossed a deadly threshold in the Bosnian struggle by dropping napalm on a "safe area" designated by the U.N. The incident in northwest Bosnia was the first confirmed use of napalm in the 2 1/2-year war. NATO was reportedly considering a response.Post your opinion on theInternationalbulletin board...
