Captain Scott O'Grady, the pilot of the downed U.S. F-16, was rescued at dawn after five days of wandering throughhostile Bosnian Serb territory. Using attack jets and two rescue helicopters, a small group of U.S. Marines dodged missiles and gunfire to pick up O'Grady in a sparsely populated forest several miles from where his plane crashed. As the rescue forces homed in on the radio signal O'Grady was sending, he set off a small yellow smoke signal to fix his location. Military sources reported that as the Marines were touching down in the wooded area...

The Bosnian Serbs also bombarded five out of six U.N.- declared "safe haven" cities in Bosnia, killing 71 people in the northern town of Tuzla alone. The air strikes, the first since November, were ordered after Bosnian Serbs ignored an ultimatum to return heavy...
Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic said in a statement today that he had persuaded the Bosnian Serbs torelease the 256 UN peacekeepers still held hostage. The statement does not say when the hostages will be set free. Milosevic has sent an aide to the Bosnian Serb stronghold of Pale to join the Greek foreign and defense ministers who are thereto try to negotiate a quick release. Despite Milosevic's assurances, the Bosnian Serbs appear to be digging in their heels, saying they won't release any more hostages without a UN pledge to halt air strikes.
