The shooting killed ABC-Tproducer David Kaplan, 45. At least 30 journalists have died and scores have been wounded while covering the wars in former Yugoslavia. In Geneva today, the United States urged the U.N. Human Rights Commission to appoint an investigator to compile information that could be used in trials. Kaplan was riding in the convoy taking Premier Milan Panic from the Sarajevo airport to U.N. headquarters, said Associated Press photographer Karsten Thielker, who spoke with witnesses in the convoy. Before Panic's arrival, one woman was killed and four people were wounded in overnight shelling that hit the main hospital in Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital, local officials said. The city was otherwise relatively quiet as the Yugoslav premier, a U.S. businessman,, embarked on his surprise mission to Sarajevo. Panic's arrival came after Bosnia's Serbs, seeking to consolidate their territorial gains from five months of civil war, announced the establishment of an independent state. The Serb hard line and mounting charges of Serb human rights violations are likely to strengthen calls for international action to aid besieged Muslims and Croats, who are vastly outgunned.

"All of us are delighted." The Democrats praised Baker but criticized the job switch. "I think it's a sign of extraordinary political panic" to have Baker resign "to concentrate on purely political activities," said vice presidential candidate Al Gore. He said of Baker: "I think he's very talented. I think his talents would be better put to use as secretary of state in continuing the Mideast peace talks." Baker later said in a State Department speech that it was "one of the most difficult decisions of my life." He choked up briefly at "f staff the end.
