Wounded Bosnian interpretor with Rifkind

Vitez, Bosnia

This Bosnian high school girl was hired as an interpretor because her English was so good. She was riding in a tank and one of the tracks froze, causing the tank to flip. A hatch banged down on her hand, damaging some fingers. So she was in the hospital recuperating. A Scotsman got three tank rounds in the ribs, pushed in by the force of the accident. He was also in the hospital. When Rifkind, the British Secretary of Defense, came to visit Vitez he toured the small but effective facility.
