Police Clear Muslim Blockades; 19 Held

Bosnian police removed roadblocks set up by Muslim refugees near a village where dozens of former moujahedeen fighters are due to be evicted from Serbian-owned houses next week. Police arrested at least 19 protesters at one of the two roadblocks at the village of Bocinja after they refused to move, said Alun Roberts, spokesman for the United Nations police force in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The detainees were later released. The evictions are aimed at freeing up occupied properties, allowing their rightful owners to reclaim them.
