  • Story Text: Bosnian Serb forces were dug in around the key town of Bosanska Krupa on Tuesday (November 1), as a fierce Moslem onslaught aimed at winning control of the strategically vital Una river in northwest Bosnia continued.

    Serb forces have suffered the worse reverses at the hands of the Bosnians in nearly 31 months of fighting in Bosnia.

    The bodies of dead Serbs were piled up in an Orthodox Church on the frontline on Tuesday.

    In a week of rapid advances, Bosnian government forces from the fifth corps have struck out of the Bihac enclave in nortwestern Bosnia and forced Bosnian Serb units to fall back on Bosanska Krupa.

    The town was under heavy attack on Tuesday but United Nations (U.N.) observers and Bosnian Serb unit commanders said that the Moslem attack was losing momentum.

    The rebel Republic of Serb Krajina which occupies Croatian territory adjoining the Bihac battlefields has mobilized 2,000 troops to help the Serbs.
