UN security staff attempt to seize Serbian flag from Serb victims of Bosnian war

NEW YORK - Security staff at the UN headquarters in New York unsuccessfully attempted to seize a Serbian flag from a delegation of Serb victims of the Bosnia and Herzegovina war before Thursday's UN General Assembly session on a Srebrenica resolution, a Tanjug reporter on the ground said.

Refusing to give the flag to the staff, the delegation members said they would not do so "even at the cost of their lives."
