...SARAJEVO: NATO troops confiscated an concealed cache of undeclared weapons and ammunition from Serbian forces in Eastern Bosnia amid admissions that there are many more such hidden stores. According to the terms of the Dayton agreement, each of the former warring parties in Bosnia is supposed to declare all weapons and military materiel so the UN and NATO can implement an equitable arms control agreement. Secretary of State Warren Christopher said the seizure would send a strong message to anyone violating the accord, but sounded a note of reality as well.

In keeping with Sarajevo's multicultural past, he lived in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, had several Muslim and Croat friends and never showed any sign of friction with them. "I could not have had a better neighbor," says Ismail Hodzic, 64, a Muslim who still lives next door to Karadzic's former apartment. Karadzic mixed with the Bosnian capital's young bohemians, writers and poets who stayed up all night discussing life, literature and art. Some...
