-Caveat Lector- NATO Troops in Bosnia Fired On By AIDA CERKEZ-ROBINSON .c The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) -- A NATO helicopter flying on a routine mission apparently came under fire over Bosnian Serb territory, NATO officials said Tuesday, the latest in a recent series of attacks on alliance-led forces in Bosnia. The crew of a Black Hawk helicopter observed a flash on the ground 10 miles southwest of the northern Bosnian city of Doboj, on Monday. Within seconds they saw an object fly in front of them, forcing them to take ``evasive action.'' The helicopter landed safely, said Maj. Sheena Thomson, a NATO spokeswoman. NATO-led forces are investigating the incident and received assurances from the Bosnian Serb Army and local police that they will cooperate. Since NATO launched airstrikes against Yugoslavia, relations between the NATO-led Stabilization force, SFOR, and Bosnian Serbs have deteriorated and SFOR has increased security measures as a precaution against retaliation. The Bosnian Serbs have strong ties to Serb-led Yugoslavia and consider the NATO action an aggression. In another incident which occurred on Sunday, a hand-grenade was thrown at a house where an SFOR member had once lived in the Bosnian Serb town of Bijeljina in the north-east of the country. There were no injuries and the damage was minimal, Thomson said. A day earlier, two civilians driving in an SFOR vehicle in a Sarajevo suburb were shot at with a small caliber weapon. One person was wounded. Several Bosnian Serb leaders have condemned NATO's behavior, particularly the Bosnian Serb Radical Party, which international officials say is steered by Milosevic. ``We remain concerned that the SRS (Bosnian Serb republic), the Radical party, in particular, continues to be manipulated by forces outside,'' said Simon Haselock, the spokesman for Bosnia's top international official, Carlos Westendorp.
