At the end of the visit, Mr. Mitterrand's convoy ran into an exchange of fire between Serbian forces and Bosnian Government militiamen.Serbian tanks moved into airport territory and started firing at Bosnian snipers who had wounded three Serbian guards at the terminal. The shooting briefly trapped Mr. Mitterrand and a party of 15 aides in an airport building a few hundred yards from the tanks.
Mr. Mitterrand's visit was punctuated by gunfire almost from the moment he set foot in Sarajevo, with snipers firing on his convoy of armored personnel carriers as it drove into the city.
Within five minutes of the convoy's arrival, a mortar round landed less than 100 yards from the room where he met with Mr. Izetbegovic.
This was June 28, 1992. WI Mitterrand had been killed during either of these incidents?
