BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: SNIPER FIRE CLAIMS NEW VICTIMS
(11 Mar 1995) English/Nat
Sniper fire claimed new victims in Sarajevo on Saturday, amid growing fears that the war in Bosnia will escalate again when the four-month truce expires next month.
The UN says two girls aged nine and eleven were hit near the Grbavica stadium.
U-N soldiers were deployed once again in anti-sniping teams to protect the civilians from what's believed to be Serb sniper fire.
Shooting was most intensive in the vicinity of Brotherhood and Unity bridge but it took place at a number of places along sniper alley.
Due to the sniper activity, tram service has been non-existent for the last couple of days in downtown Sarajevo.
Because of that there was an unusually large number of people walking.
Some took cover behind the U-N armoured personnel carriers.
The U-N soldiers arrived after one of the civilians was wounded in the shoulder.
The U-N soldiers did not return fire as they have in the last couple of times when the sniper incidents have occurred.
As a U-N fire brigade officer explained, this time their only aim was protecting civilians.
SOUNDBITE:
"Approximately 16:50 hours we received reports of shots fired here at this position. We arrived with our heart-scan and put our ambulance on standby. We received reports of one man injured, shot in the shoulder and transported to the hospital. We have been on the scene there has not been any other victims, but have been quiet a few shots fired."

Bosnian Serbs. For them it was a "heroic" act; to kill as many as possible ordinary people, pure hate against non-serbs..

serb millitants were like targeting civilians in Bosna because they wanted to occupy the teritory they had in Bosna called Republika Srpska and they wanted to occupy the bosna capital so they did war crimes

Basically that war was fought by rebels and paramilitaries, anyone could be a soldier in disguise. Doesn't justify it but at least gives a vague reason for it.
I do not know what garbage is until seeing serbian army

Les snippers tirent sur les enfants, les femmes et des innocents civils en général, et on appelle ça guerre? Hhhhhh, ça fait rire , ça ne ressemble à aucune guerre, c'est plutôt une tuerie oui, voilà le mot conforme, toute une pauvre population traumatisée à Sarajevo et dans toute la Bosnie. Pieuse pensée aux victimes de ce génocide.😥😥😥😥

To me the aggression on Bosnia ,Srebrenica,and thousands of Bosniak women and young girls that were raped is like it was just yesterday ,sadly ,so many girls find me ugly ,including Bosniak girls who were very mean to me and calling me ugly when it’s not my fault , but when I think about that they HAD to scream ……..is indeed making me upset and angry. I better make it to heaven after all my suffering here and my fellow Bosnian Muslims.✌️❤️☝️🇧🇦.And nope,no way that I can ever hate on fine Serbian babes(❤️).
