...charges that Juan Miguel beat his ex-wife and was too explosive to be a fit father. Juan Miguel himself had provided some ammunition: he told ABC's Nightline last January that he hadn't come to Miami yet because he was afraid he would take a rifle and "strafe the s.o.b.s" in Miami's Cuban-exile community...
...just a stupid mistake. Up to now, Russian forces have marched across the republic with, they claim, little resistance. Their battle plan called for slow, steady advances until the rebels engaged them. Then they would let their vastly superior artillery and air forces bomb the Chechen fighters and strafe their village hideouts, until they fell back and Russian troops could move safely forward again. Since late September, a Russian force that now numbers 100,000--just about every viable fighting man in the armed forces--has managed to retake control of nearly 60% of Chechnya. For more than a month...
...ultimatum: the Serbs must stop firing on the city immediately, and they had until Saturday night to pull back their troops and weapons 1.9 miles and let in U.N. humanitarian teams to succor Gorazde's sick, wounded and starving. If the Serbs refused, NATO planes would bomb and strafe any Serb targets, including ammunition dumps and fuel depots as well as weapons, within a 12.5-mile perimeter. That extended to Gorazde and the five other havens the concepts of an ultimatum and an exclusion zone that had some, though not complete, success in easing the siege of Sarajevo...
...flat ultimatum to the Serbs: Stop shelling Sarajevo. Pull back all big guns, heavy mortars and tanks 12.4 miles $ from the Bosnian capital or put them under U.N. control. And do it in 10 days, by 1 a.m. Feb. 21, Sarajevo time. After that, NATO warplanes will bomb or strafe any heavy weapons still in the exclusion zone, or any artillery pieces still firing into Sarajevo from beyond...
...force will be about doubled to 10,000. And that does not count another 10,000 or so aboard the ships of a carrier battle group that will steam around offshore. There are not many targets in Somalia for the F/A-18s aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln to bomb and strafe, though U.S. officials threatened to take out Aidid's arms caches in the countryside if he made more trouble in Mogadishu...
