SARAJEVO - A blast damaged a Catholic monastery and home to eight Jesuit priests and trainee priests early yesterday. Mr Alex Ivanko, spokesman for the UN police, said according to early reports there were "no casualties, but three cars and a building were damaged".

A series of explosions targeted Catholic churches and monasteries in Bosnia earlier this year ahead of the visit of Pope John Paul II to the mainly Muslim Sarajevo. That visit was marred by an apparent attempt on the life of the Pope. - (AFP)
