Page "Bosnian War" Paragraph 65
from
Wikipedia
On 10 January 1993, just before the outbreak of hostilities in Gornji Vakuf, the Croat Defence Council ( HVO ) commander Luka Šekerija, sent a " Military – Top Secret " request to Colonel Tihomir Blaškić and Dario Kordić, ( later convicted by ICTY of war crimes and crimes against humanity i. e. ethnic cleansing ) for rounds of mortar shells available at the ammunition factory in Vitez.
Fighting then broke out in Gornji Vakuf on 11 January 1993, sparked by a bomb Croats placed in a Bosniak-owned hotel used as a military headquarters.
A general outbreak of fighting followed, and there was heavy shelling of the town that night by Croat artillery.
