SARAJEVO — A bomb blast Monday destroyed a monument to fallen soldiers of Bosnia’s Muslim-dominated wartime army in the southern town of Mostar, where divisions between ethnic Croats and Muslims still run deep.



Police said an “explosive device” had destroyed the lily-shaped monument in front of Mostar’s city hall. Bosnia’s international peace overseer, Valentin Inzko, said he was “appalled” by the attack and appealed for calm. “This violence must not be allowed to spread,” Inzko said in a statement. — AFP
