Jeffrey May fought in Panama and the war in the Persian Gulf, but nothing in his military experience compared to being shot at by a sniper. May was one of about 1.100 paratroopers w ho were fired at as they began a four-mil- e run on Friday. The barrage left one dead and 18 wounded. Six remained hospitalized today. A fellow paratrooper is in cus- , . tody. May. 27. of Lambsburg. Va.. said the shooting gave him "the same adrenalin rush" as combat, but it was more stressful.

The Independent newspaper reported Monday. The United States has accused Bosnian Serbs of massacring up to 2.700 of the 8.000 inhabitants of Srebrenica who are still missing, three months after the town fell. Other estimate put the death toll as high as 4.000. The Independent said it had obtained a copy of a statement Lt. Gen. Bernard Janvier made in a closed-doo- r briefing in New York on May 24 in which he "openly expressed desire to ditch the enclaves." Janvier argued that U.N. troops stationed in the enclaves, including Dutch forces in Sre mm 5u brenica, were little Serb aggression because they were isolated, poorly armed and vulnerable to being taken hostage, the newspaper said. He said other gestures, including NATO air attacks, also would have little effect, it reported. "We have little time ahead of us. We must take measures which allow us to limit the risks incurred by our forces," the document records Janvier told the diplomats. The Independent said. "Let us be pragmatic and honest especially towards those whose security we hold in our hands: without lightning rods, stay out of the storm." The way Janvier handled the Serb offensive in July approving the use of NATO air power only when it was too late has led senior U.N. officials to conclude that the French officer, supported by leaders in Paris. London and Washington, deliberately allowed Srebrenica and later Zepa. another "safe area " to fall to the Serbs. The Independent said. "Looking back on it now. there is no doubt that the geueral was signaling his intention, and the intention of those whose views he represented, to wash his hands of the safe areas." the newspaper quoted an unnamed U.N. diplomat present at Jani-er'- s May briefing as saying. "No one had ever said what Janvier said so clearly or so coldly before." a diplomat from a Muslim country with troops in the former Yugoslav ia reportedly told The Independent. But Sashi Tharoor. a senior U.N. peacekeeping official in New York, denied there was any plan to abandon the enclaves, blaming instead the system devised by Western leaders lo protect the enclaves.
