Pope John Paul II risked Sarajevo trip amid explosives threat
Pope John Paul II pressed ahead with a visit to Sarajevo despite a cache of more than 20 anti tank mines and 50 pounds of plastic explosives found along his motorcade route. He urged reconciliation and democracy to Muslims Croats and Serbs, rejecting a helicopter ride and warning against war and hatred. The city remains divided among nationalist factions and faces security challenges tied to ongoing interethnic tensions.
