  4. Re: The UN observers:

    Have you seen this? One of the observers had emailed:

    What I can tell you is this: we have on a daily basis had numerous occasions where our position has come under direct or indirect fire from both artillery and aerial bombing. The closest artillery has landed within 2 meters of our position and the closest 1000 lb aerial bomb has landed 100 meters from our patrol base. This has not been deliberate targeting, but has rather been due to tactical necessity.


    ...But I guess Kofi had a clearer read of the tactical situation.
