 BOSNIAN SERBS FREE FRENCH HOSTAGES  
 Six French Foreign Legion soldiers  
 and their armoured vehicle have     
 been freed by Bosnian Serb forces   
 after being held for five days.     
                                     
 A UN spokesman said their release,  
 on a road near Sarajevo, could bj a 
 sign that tensions were decreasing. 
                                     
 But seven more UN soldiers have     
 been taken hostage by the Serbs who 
 raided a UN checkpoint last night.  
                                     
 Nearly 400 UN personnel are being   
 held hostage, including 33 soldiers 
 from the Ro9al Welch Fusiliers.
