...CONQUEST CAME WITH SURPRISING EASE. FOR months Serb forces have struggled to secure a broad corridor across northern Bosnia connecting Croatian regions they control with Serbia itself. The town of Bosanski Brod, where Muslim and Croat troops were easily supplied from across the Sava River in Croatia, was a stone in their path...
...Serb-held territory running all the way from Serbia proper through the town of Derventa to Serb-populated zones of Croatia. At the Croatian end, the Serbs fired a 155-mm artillery shell that slammed into a soccer stadium crowded with refugees on the Croatian side of the Sava River, killing 13 people and injuring 60.

He added, "If you will build 250 villas there, we will help you finance the project, and we will develop the area for you." The landscape is stunning, the air clean, and the site is close to every urban center in Israel. The state will build...
