SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- When people here ask what it is
like outside, they are not curious about the weather.
Yesterday, conditions were what besieged residents have come to
call "Sarajevo safe" -- that is, constant spattering of automatic
weapons fire from the Serbian-controlled ridges looming over the city
mixed with intermittent showers of mortar rounds.
The machine gun, sniper and mortar fire were concentrated on
civilian sections.
Midmorning also saw salvos of 105-mm howitzer shells -- the
heaviest artillery pounding in days -- slamming into Bosnian Defense
Force positions on the lower slopes of the ridges.
