	Independent magazine Vreme (I could probably say, the only independent
magazine in what used to be Yugoslavia), in one of its articles about a month
ago, gave a figure of about 150,000 artillery pieces fell on Sarajevo and
its suburbs.  The same journalist calculated more than 4,700 bombs, rockets,
etc. every single day.  That was more than a month ago, I would say that by
now that number is above 300,000.  What is the demage to the city of the size
of about Hartford, CT after 300,000 bombs, rockets, mortars, ... is, I guess,
not hard to imagine.

Pozdrav,
Dragan
