2 REPORTERS KILLED BY MINE IN BOSNIA

Two journalists working for U.S. publications were killed Sunday and another was wounded when their car ran over a land mine near Mostar in southwest Bosnia-Herzegovina, a U.N. official said.

Maj. Antonio Albariz, a spokesman for Spanish U.N. troops in nearby Medjugorje, identified the two dead as Brian Brenton, accredited to Magnolia News, a weekly newspaper in Seattle, and Francis William Tomasic, accredited to Spin magazine.

William Tanner Wollman, also of Spin, was slightly injured by the blast and taken to a Spanish military hospital in the region.

Also, two Danish tank platoons pounded Serb positions with 72 shells during a 90-minute battle near Tuzla in northeastern Bosnia, U.N. officials said Sunday. The clash, which started late Friday and ended early Saturday in the town of Kalesija, left nine Serb soldiers dead and five wounded, the Bosnian Serb army announced. - Associated Press
