A Dark History - the Sniper Tower - Mostar, Bosnia
The so called Sniper Tower in Mostar - Bosnia and Herzegovina - used to be a bank, but during the Bosnian conflict the building was used by snipers. The building is abandoned now so I thought I would check it out. The view from the top was great. I also checked out some other buildings while in Mostar. Join me while seeing some sights here in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

War damage, Ljubljanska Bank Tower. Mostar, Bosnia Hercegovina
Llubljanska Bank Tower overlooked the main road of Mostar during the conflict. It was used as a sniper tower because of it's height, commanding position over the main road 'sniper alley' and the design of the windows.

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: SHELLING LATEST SITUATION
English/Nat
Four people - including two children - were killed Tuesday in the worst shelling of Sarajevo in three weeks.
At least 23 people were injured, including six Egyptian UN peacekeepers who had come under attack from Serb mortar shells.
There had already been one shell this morning - many Sarajevans thought that would be it for the day.
But a larger missile and a tank shell struck these housing blocks shortly afterwards.
The damage was largely structural - flames leapt out from some apartments while smoke billowed out of others.
Firefighters were kept busy tackling the smouldering wreckage.
United Nations' inspectors were on hand to see the sites, but there was little they could do.
Rubble lay strewn across the street and only some dared to look onto the scene, rushing back into their homes when sniper shots rang out.
Earlier in the day, four people - including two children - were killed when Bosnian Serb gunners fired a shell into Sarajevo.
The shell landed close to a bridge on the Miljacka river that runs right through the centre of town.
Among Tuesday's casualties were six Egyptian peacekeepers.
A UN spokesman said Bosnian Serbs had shelled the soldiers' observation post (OP) but added no response was possible.
SOUNDBITE:
Around 10 o'clock this morning, the Egyptian OP at (Emiravice?) was hit by 420mm mortar rounds. This resulted in the wounding of six Egyptian soldiers, two of whom were seriously hurt. We have been able to determine that the direction of fire came from the Bosnian Serb side, but we have not been able to ascertain the exact firing point on the ground and, therefore, unable to respond.
SUPER CAPTION: Lieutenant Colonel Chris Vernon, UN Spokesman
One woman had a lucky escape.
This maid was working in a building struck by shellfire and was trapped under rubble.
Once freed from the debris, she was taken to hospital where medics found she had escaped with only minor injuries.

The War In Mostar, Bosnia (BBC)

Voices from Mostar
First broadcast October 2005
In November 1995, the Dayton Peace Accord finally brought the Bosnian war to an end. Ten years on, BBC's Allan Little and Peter Burdin revisit those who shared their experiences with them during and just a the very end of a 1,000-day siege of Sarajevo.
Ten years ago, Allan Little and Peter Burdin produced a Sony Award-winning series about some of those who'd survived the war in Bosnia. Alan Little resided in Bosnia during the conflict, and as a result of his experiences and a great interest in the region he wrote one of the definitive books on the Balkans War - The Death Of Yugoslavia.
In this three-part series Allan and Peter give us a glimpse into the minds and thoughts of individuals who shared their experiences of the war ten years ago, and try to discover how Bosnians have managed to deal with their traumas and cope with the continuing persistence of war inflicted memories, as well as the consequences of the conflict on their country.
At the heart of Mostar, in southern Bosnia-Hercegovina, is the Old Bridge. First built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, the bridge was destroyed by Croatian guns during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s. It has since been restored, but as Dan Damon found out while walking there with local journalist Mirsad Behram, divides remain.
Part Two: Mostar
Mostar is best known for its shiny white arched cobalt bridge - built in the 14th century by the Ottomans. This Unesco-protected arch was destroyed during the war, but it rose again to symbolise a basic conception about this country - that of bridge-building between religions, ethnic groups, friends and even enemies.
During the Balkans conflict, some of the most vicious fighting took place in the town of Mostar. The predominantly Croat west river bank was clensed of Bosniaks, who were forced to flee to the predomianantly Bosniak east river bank.
More than 30,000 Muslims were forced out of their homes by Croat soldiers. They then suffered nine months of shelling as they huddled in basements with little food and no running water - completely ensnared by hostile forces.
Peter Burdin and Allan Little went to Mostar in 1995 to meet the survivors of that siege. At the time they met two remarkable children who had lived through the war and were presenting a weekly radio show for other children of the siege of Mostar. 13-year-old Alem and 11-year-old Mirad were doing this as part of a Unicef programme to help traumatised children come to terms with the horrors they had witnessed during the war.
Ten years later Peter and Allan returned to Mostar to try and find what happened to those two remarkable young boys.
In November 1993, one of Bosnia's most famous landmarks, the old Ottoman bridge in Mostar, was destroyed by Croat guns in the Bosnian war. Built by the Ottomans in the 16th Century, the bridge was a symbol of Bosnia's multicultural past. We talk to Eldin Palata, who filmed the destruction of the bridge; and to local journalist Mirsad Behram about what the bridge meant to the people of Mostar.

BOSNIAN WAR - Fall of the Old Bridge in Mostar (09.11.1993.)
The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed on 9 November 1993 during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After its destruction a temporary cable bridge was erected in its place.
Newspapers based in Sarajevo reported that more than 60 shells hit the bridge before it collapsed. After the destruction of the Stari Most, a spokesman for the Croats admitted that they deliberately destroyed it, claiming that it was of strategic importance.Academics have argued that the bridge held little strategic value and that its shelling was an example of deliberate cultural property destruction. Andras Riedlmayer terms the destruction an act of killing memory, in which evidence of a shared cultural heritage and peaceful co-existence were deliberately destroyed.
Both sides of the city remained linked until bridge´s reconstruction thanks to the Spanish military engineers assigned to UN UNPROFOR mission.
