SARAJEVO - A mob of angry Muslim women rounded on UN police officers in Sarajevo during a blockade intended to frighten Serbs still living in the city, a UN official said yesterday.

The women threw up a blockade across the road to a small village just outside the capital on Sunday believing that two busloads of Serbs were on their way to claim their homes, UN international police (IPTF) spokesman Mr Patrick Svensson said.
