Meanwhile, he said the Bosnian Serb Army passed word that it would return the stolen weapons and UNPROFOR signalled NATO to call off the rest of the operation. The briefer cautioned however that the set of targets, which were preapproved, "is still active in the sense that they are still available should they be required." Later, a senior Defense Department described the "target set" selected by NATO as "proportional to what was taken" by the Bosnian Serbs. Asked to justify the strike, the official said it was in response to "increased violence in the Sarajevo area," including the second violation of the UNPROFOR weapons storage area by the Bosnian Serbs. The commander of the Allied Forces in Southern Europe, Admiral Leighton Smith, told reporters in Naples August 5 that additional NATO aircraft remain on "alert status" should they be needed. He expressed hope that once the stolen weapons are returned to UNPROFOR in Bosnia that tensions will diminish and the situation will return to normal. In particular, he 1aid he hopes there will be a reduction of sniper activity. Smith, whose remarks were communicated into the Pentagon, noted that the aircraft carrier, USS George Washington, would be in the area on August 6. The humanitarian airlift into Sarajevo, which had just resumed after a two week suspension, was suspended again following the NATO air strike. The last NATO action in Bosnia occurred on April 10-11 when NATO aircraft attacked targets in the Gorazde area after U.N. personnel requested air protection. NNNN .
