  • Story Text: United Nations (U.N.) relief officials on Tuesday (August 23) struggled to provide food and water for thousands of Moslem refugees who have fled the fighting in the northwestern Bosnian enclave of Bihac.

    The exodus of refugees has followed the defeat of rebel Moslem leader Fikret Abdic, whose forces were routed by Bosnian government troops two days ago.

    Bosnian government radio said 4,000 to 5,000 people had responded to Bosnian government appeals to return to their homes, having fled to nearby Serb-held territory.

    But U.N. aid officials could not confirm reports of refugees returning to the area, and add that up to 30,000 Moslems have been fled to the Serb-held areas of Croatia.
