The story of Ana Mutevlic, first victim of Tuesday's rocket attack on Zagreb, shows how human destiny can be cruel sometimes. After more than two years of surviving the shells and sniper fire in Sarajevo, where she lived and worked as a solicitor, Ana decided to move out and come to Zagreb, to safety (that's what she hoped). But one doesn't know where death awaits him. The photo of her dead body covered with fabrics, near the stopped tram, travelled the world.
Just while Ballet ensemble had rehearsal in the Croatian National Theatre, one rocket hit the building. On that occasion many dancers were wounded, among them Almira Osmanovic-David, the director of the ensemble that was withheld in a hospital, but out of life danger. Fifteen other Croatian dancers were injured, but also the citizens of Russia, Romania and Hungary working together on an international project.
The news that Serbs launched a rocket on children's hospital caused shock and disbelief in the whole civilised world. During the attack Sanja Risovic, mother of three months old girl Ana Marija, was seriously wounded while waiting with her daughter to be examined by a doctor. After the rocket fell on the hospital she covered the baby with her body and saved her from dangerous injuries. Unfortunately she, herself got seriously wounded and is on intensive care in one of Zagreb hospitals.
Dora Adzic was wounded in the first attack on Zagreb, while walking with her grandmother through the streets of Zagreb. She was taken into CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL where held for treatment. The next day that hospital was the target of a new attack. Although severely wounded in her legs and one arm in a previous attack, she didn't suffer further injuries.
