...hour journey to Tuzla. Horrified U.N. officials, already smarting under accusations of abetting the Serb aim of ethnic cleansing by evacuating Muslims, temporarily called off further convoys. There was nothing to dissuade them from their pessimism in the rejection by the Serb nationalist parliament in Bosnia of the Vance-Owen peace plan, approved not only by other factions but, conditionally, by their own leader...
...accused man requested bail. He said he could line up 10 people who would offer $50,000 cash, enough to secure a $5 million bond -- an odd assertion for a suspect who had been feverishly trying to get $400 back from Ryder. But declaring Salameh a "serious risk," Judge Owen ordered the suspect held without bail for a preliminary hearing March 18. Salameh later told his attorney he was innocent and believed he was being persecuted for his religious beliefs. Precht says his client has requested a copy of the Koran, a watch so he can pray at the proper...
...where Salameh apparently had once lived (its address is on his driver's license). There they found Ibrahim Elgabrowny, a 42-year-old self-employed carpenter, who allegedly tried to punch an investigating agent and was arrested on a charge of obstructing justice. At a court hearing Friday, Judge Owen mysteriously remarked that Elgabrowny might be involved "up to his eyeballs" in the Trade Center bombing...

The mediators are never certain from day to day which leaders of the three factions will show up, much less what their stance will be. The talks were apparently making progress when the Bosnian Muslims agreed to the military disengagement portion of the agreement in return for a promise that U.N. peacekeepers would take control of Serb artillery and heavy weapons. A day later, the Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic...
...largest stumbling block to a negotiated settlement remains the map of the 10 ethnic enclaves that Vance and Owen propose. Even if Bosnian President Alia Izetbegovic were to accept it, as he hinted last week, Karadzic says he will not. The patchwork state as now drawn would require the Serbs to cut back their territorial holdings from 70% to 42% and leave almost a third of all Bosnian Serbs in provinces controlled by Muslims or Croats. Karadzic vows not to surrender a single Serb village, and his militias have shown their ability to turn other villages into Serbian strongholds almost...
