(2 May 1995) T/I: 10:44:43
U.N. soldiers on Tuesday (2/5) began withdrawing from the town of
Pakrac, about 90 kilometres east of Zagreb, after Croatian troops
rolled in. Under the threat of being completely cut off, troops from
Serbian-controlled Krajina were reported to be withdrawing across
the North Bosnian border. Thousands of civilians were said to be
following. All the parties were fleeing into Bosnia across the
Gradiska bridge, which was bombed on Tuesday morning by Croatian
warplanes, but was still passable. Refugees were making for the
Topola shelter centre just across the border in Northern Bosnia.
