Bosnian President Hostage

On May 3 1992 President Alija Izetbegovic was kidnapped by JNA officers http://mycentury.tv/balkani/249-bosnian-president-kidnapped-1-.html at Sarajevo airport on his return from negotiations in Lisbon.
They used Izetbegovic to get an agreement on the safe passage of the Federal (JNA) troops in the barracks in central Sarajevo, under UN protection.

Earlier Serb forces launched an attack on the Bosnian Presidency and other government buildings. At some point their tanks were no more than 50 metres from the Presidency. Bosnian fighters using anti-tank missiles stopped the Serbian assault and managed to counter-attack and encircle the Federal Army headquarters.
