SJENINA, Bosnia - Two Muslims were killed and 10 others wounded yesterday in a clash in between Muslim refugees trying to return to their homes in Sjenina, northern Bosnia, and a Serb crowd blocking them, Nato said.

A spokesman said at least three were lying in a minefield and they were trying to remove them using helicopters.

Nato said most of the injuries occurred when the refugees skirted a Nato checkpoint and entered a minefield.
