Dark portents of a slaughter foretold

Article Abstract:

The Christian Phalange militia, Israel's allies in the invasion of Lebanon, massacred hundreds of Palestinian civilians at Sabra and Chatila, Beirut, in 1982. Thousands protested in Tel Aviv about this war crime which went unrecognised as such by the West. The West is indifferent to the massacres in Yugoslavia. The state of Bosnia is internationally recognised and the siege of Sarajevo continues. The West supposedly respects international law and opposes aggression.

Sarajevo's 'protector' speaks under shellfire

Article Abstract:

President Alia Izetbegovic declined more UN food aid to draw attention to the lack of supplies for surrounded Muslim towns in eastern Bosnia. The United Nations Protection Force (Unprofor) is in Sarajevo to keep the peace and deliver relief supplies. French General Philippe Morillon has 600 legionaires in Sarajevo. One of his soldiers was murdered near the airport headquarters of the UN battalion. The firing came from Bosnian forces 1000-1900 metres away.
