Queen Noor, the Queen of Jordan, arrived at Tuzla Air base, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, during Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR (the multi-national peacekeeping mission in Bosnia) to attend a Womens conference held to bring awareness to the plight of the women of Serbenica who were forced to leave their homes. The fate of their husbands and sons are unknown; they are believed to be dead and buried in mass graves. The conference was also to show solidarity of the women of Bosnia and the world. Shown here is the motorcade provided to move the Queen, as well as many other well known women, to the Sports center in Tuzla
