Fatal shelling tests UN weapons ban near Sarajevo
A UN ban on heavy weapons near Sarajevo collapsed as a mortar killed six and wounded 15 in a government district. Five more were injured at a crowded market as 8 shells struck. About 550 Canadian peacekeepers remain confined to Visoko. Ottawa said they will be allowed to resupply observation posts. The Bosnian government condemned the UN decision to reject a NATO airstrike on a Serb airfield. NATO had previously struck Serb dumps. Canada reported a supply convoy reached the camp amid ongoing blockades and mine threats.
