21.  In Zagreb, Defense Minister Gojko Susak acknowledges that Croatian forces were responsible for the death of one Danish and two Czech peacekeepers.

22.  It was difficult to determine how successful the Croatian forces were Friday because their claims about towns and territory captured did not match what the United Nations said.

23.  It is now clear that Croatian forces committed widespread murder against elderly Serb noncombatants while looting and burning Serb homes.

24.  Just how far Croatian forces progressed toward that objective Friday remained unclear.

25.  Karlovac is right in line for retaliatory bombardment, as happened in May when Croatian forces overran a Croatian Serb pocket southeast of Zagreb.

26.  Most of the Croatian forces are heavy artillery units using advanced aiming systems and ammunition far superior to that of the Bosnian Serbs, according to the foreign officers.

27.  Much of the territory recaptured by Bosnian government and Croatian forces in recent days had been slated for return to them in an eventual settlement.

28.  None of those in the convoy said they had suffered at the hands of the Croatian forces.

29.  Peacekeepers in Croatia had been largely confined to policing cease-fire lines between Croatian forces and Croatian Serbs, who hold nearly a third of the country.

30.  Since Monday, however, Croatian forces have also been building up to the west of the Krajina, from the city of Karlovac southward.
