BANJA LUKA, Bosnia - A hand grenade being used instead of a ball in a
game of catch exploded early on Saturday killing three youths in this
Bosnian town, police and news agencies said.
Two youths aged 19 and 20, one of them from neighboring Croatia, were
killed instantly while a 20-year-old woman died on her way to
hospital, police said. Her sister was slightly injured but two other
youths suffered serious injuries.
The blast occurred at 2:00 a.m. (8pm ET Friday) in the western town of
Novi Grad at a place in the town center frequented by youngsters.
Police said an inquiry was under way and declined further comment. It
was not clear why the grenade exploded.
ONASA news agency quoted witnesses as saying the youths tossed the
hand grenade to each other before it exploded in the hands of one of
them.
Bosnia is awash with illegal weapons left over from the 1992-95 war
and tragic incidents are frequent despite several successful campaigns
by international peacekeepers and police to get people to hand over
illegal weapons.

I knew a guy who was a reservist called to serve there
several years ago. One of his jobs was to go
door to door asking for weapons. At one house
a little old lady answered the door. When asked about
weapons she said wait and then
returned with a sack full of hand grenades.
He also said that they are just waiting for the peacekeepers
to leave so they can get back to killing each other.
