UN chief lets commanders decide on Bosnian air strikes
President Clinton pledged to move aggressively to protect Bosnians as NATO contemplates fast air action in Bosnia. Boutros-Ghali delegated decision making to military leaders, easing a two-tier command dispute and signaling a possible major allied campaign if Bosnian Serbs threaten Gorazde. Senate moves to lift the arms embargo could affect U.N. peacekeeping and NATO’s humanitarian role.
