CAPTION ONLY: A BITE TO EAT FROM BOSNIAN DAD

By midmorning, 12 packages had been found by search parties. On Wednesday, Serb forces besieging Muslim enclaves in eastern Bosnia granted permission for wounded civilians to be evacuated, but scores of people were killed in new attacks. The commander of U.N. troops in Bosnia headed for the enclaves of Srebrenica and Konjevic Polge with 11 unarmed trucks to evacuate wounded women and children. The convoy also carried 80 tons of aid to Srebrenica. Meanwhile, international negotiators met with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in hopes of pressuring him to force Bosnian Serb leaders to agree to peace. A newspaper report said the United States is urging NATO allies to start preparing an international force of at least 50,000 troops to send into Bosnia after a peace settlement. France is balking at the plan, the New York Times said.
