Bosnian officers in custody

AMSTERDAM, AUG 5. Three senior Bosnian Muslim army officers charged with war crimes against Bosnian Croats committed mainly by Islamic ``Mujahideen'' fighters from outside were in custody in the Hague, a U.N. Spokesman said.

The tribunal yesterday said the indictment against Generals Mehmed Alagic and Enver Hadzihasa Novic along with Brigadier Amir Kubura covers crimes committed between January 1993 and January 1994, a period of vicious fighting between Muslims and Croats. The three were detained on Thursday by police from Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation and transferred by plane to the Netherlands.
