Members of the 10th Mountain landing near the compound of the "person of interest" in a recent exercise at Little War HOSTILE FIRE CONTACT REPORT by patrol on 2 November 2011 An unknown/unidentified group has detonated a VBIED (car bomb) at check point 17-1 near the UN Headquarters. The bomb killed three (3) Bosnian Muslims and two (2) British UN aid workers one (1) German Soldier, also wounding 3 Panzer Grenadiers and a UNHCR representatives. The bomb was remote detonated. Video footage of the incident indicates the driver and passenger did not detonate the explosives and may not have known the bomb was in their car. HOSTILE ACTION REPORT by local unidentified source, dated 29 October 2011 An unknown group may be planning to assassinate the Mayor of Jablanica. (VBIED's seem to be the weapon of choice). A second VBIED may be used in the area of the initial explosion to target anyone trying to rescue victims. This is from a reasonably reliable source. UNLAWFUL ACTION REPORT by UNHCR rep. John Gonzalez, dated 28 Ocober 2011 Another group of women from Kosovo, who
were being transported through the Jablanica area on their way from central
Bosnia, was freed after the truck they were riding in broke down near a
checkpoint. A UNHCR representative heard one of the women crying and
forced the military police at the checkpoint to open the truck to examine the
cargo. All of the women were ethnic Serbs from Kosovo. The women
were not able to reveal any helpful information about their captors but
paperwork found on the driver of the truck indicated some connections with the
ministry of refugees in Mostar.
