SARAJEVO A US tank with the peacekeeping Implementation Force (Ifor) ran over an anti tank mine near Tuzla in central Bosnia yesterday, but no one was hurt, an Ifor spokes man said. The M2 Bradley tank lost a track in the explosion, seven km south of the US forces' headquarters.

Three British soldiers with Ifor were killed last Sunday when their armoured vehicle ran over an unmarked mine near Gornji Vakul, in northwestern Bosnia.
