Now the government has gone one step further, taking a cue from neighboring Croatia who last week asked the United Nations to pull out its 1J..HUO peacekeeper* A letter sent Monday to U.N officials gives them until Feb. 1 to open the airport or withdraw the mostly Norwegian troops there, U N spokesman Paul Riv ley said The letter was signed by Bosnia's U N liaison. Hasan Muratovii who called it an "ulti matum" in an interview Tuesday Meanwhile, the U N com mender in Turla, Gen.

In the Bihm. enclave of north west Bosnia. Fighting continued Tuesday between government forces and Serbs from Bosnia and neighboring Croatia, backed by renegade Muslim fighters Chris Cunness. a UN. spokesman in Zagreb, said more than l \ artillery and mortar shells fell west and south of Bihar . a lI N.-declared safe haven. Farther north, about 90 artillery shells fell east and southeast of Velika Klndusa Th* heaviest Fighting was con centrated west of Bihac. where government troops trying to oust Croatian Serlis regained 3.6 miles of territory over the weekend Around Sarajevo, there were fresh promises from Serb and government troops to cooperate during a four-month truce that began Jan. 1. The government withdrew its remaining troops from a demilitarized zone on Mount Igmari, a strategic height southwest of Sarajevo, said U.N. spokesman Lt. Col. Cary Coward. Bosnian Serbs gave permission for several U.N. convoys to enter besieged Muslim enclaves in east ern Bosnia, and let a U.N human itarian aid convoy reach civilians in Bihac. But a civilian route out of Sara jevo remained closed. An estimated 200.000 people have died or disappeared since Bosnia's war began in April when Serbs rebelled against the republic's decision to secede from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia. ■ ET ALS mi mM.s ( wile K r»H n *;.! mi tv »« I Mi ( «v? .iiv K * : I I Ml lUmrtl IwkI ScriKt < omnuitM will n<<wi ti*ia> *!

About t()0 cars were damaged— 25 seriously - while driving onto the train for the 32-mile trip under the English Channel. Eurotunnel, which operates the tunnel, says the undersides of low-slung models such as Ferraris and Lotuses have scrajMid against metal barriers w hile lieing loaded Before opening for business. Eurotunnel conduc ted tests using cars carrying five adults and a huge load of beer, w hich is what typical passengers were expected to bring back from France, where alcohol taxes are much lower than in England But Eurotunnel had apparently not counted on some cars having a ground clearance of less than 4 inches, the level at which they can have problems.
