(25 Aug 1996) English/Nat
Violence has erupted in two Bosnian cities, with a shooting in Sarajevo and an explosion in Mostar.
Three Bosnian Moslems were wounded by gunshots in the ethnically disputed Sarajevo suburb of Dobrinja early Sunday.
In Mostar, two hand grenades were thrown from a car in the Muslim-controlled eastern half of the city, although there were no reported injuries.
The war in Bosnia may be over, but tensions still run high in the Sarajevo suburb of Dobrinja.
The administrative boundary line dividing Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation and its Serb republic runs through Dobrinja - and the exact location of the border is hotly disputed by both sides.
In the wake of Sunday morning's shooting, I-FOR patrols have been stepped up.
I-FOR spokesman Lieutenant Max Mariner says three people including a policeman were injured.
SOUNDBITE:
"It would appear that they have been very severely beaten with some sort of stick of baseball bat sort of implement and then shot in the legs".

The injured are being treated in this hospital and are said to be in a serious condition.
Lieutenant Mariner condemned the attack.
SOUNDBITE:
"It is utterly incongruous at this time as we approach democratic elections that we have this sort of gross thuggery going on, whether it is political or criminal or ethnic it is
still utterly wrong."

I-FOR troops are now patrolling in strength to help ensure against further attacks.
Hours earlier in the divided city of Mostar, the night was shattered by an explosion.
Two hand grenades were thrown from a car in the Muslim-controlled eastern half of the city, although only one of the grenades exploded.
There were no reports of injuries.
