The 'broken dagger' club cuts up rough

Article Abstract:

There have been a growing number of cases over recent years in which former members of the British Special Forces have spoken of their activities on television or in books. This has prompted the UK government to ban some former members of the Special Forces from attending reunions on ministry of defence property, thus hampering any attempt to gather further information for books or television programmes. It is believed that the government is particularly concerned about details emerging of Special Forces operations in countries where Special Forces were not official present.

The world bids farewell to its balance of terror

Article Abstract:

President Bush and President Yeltsin agreed on Jun 16 1992 to reject land-based heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles in a change to a minimum deterrence strategy and plan to cooperate on global ballistic missile defence. This will limit dangers from accidental weapon launch. The Russian SS-18 Satan missile with 10 independently-targeted warheads and other missiles with multiple warheads will be discarded. The US and Russia should cut strategic warheads to 3,500 each by 2003.

Bosnia's former victims are accused of poll terror tactics

Article Abstract:

There has been extensive intimidation of opposition candidates for the forthcoming elections in Bosnia in the Muslim enclave of Bihac, which underwent a three-year siege at the height of the conflict in the region. Outside observers claim that this problem has become so serious that many people may be deterred from voting. There have been 11 mysterious explosions recently, some of which have targeted opponents of the Muslim SDA party of president Alija Izetbegovic.
