While in Pa, she told an audience that she had to run from her plane, after being told there was sniper fire and for her to duck and run. BUT that version is now being challenged.
She has retracted her words and has said she "misspoke" when she described the actual events.
This is how it was reported in the New York Times:
Mrs. Clinton said she had been told that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire, not that actual shots were being fired. So I misspoke, she said. Earlier Monday, Clinton advisers corrected the Bosnia anecdote, saying they did not want it to harm her credibility. One Clinton foreign policy adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity in exchange for being candid about her mistake, said that Mrs. Clinton had been too loose with her words and that she risked looking as if she was trying to pump up a somewhat risky situation into a very dangerous one. In her most recent account, offered last week, Mrs. Clinton described an action-packed arrival in the Balkans. I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, she said, in remarks that aides described Monday as not being part of her prepared speech. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.
She was briefed that there might be snipper fire when she landed at the airport in Tuzla, Bosnia - but no one with her remembers any snipper fire.
General Nash who was in charge of American troops in Bosnia at the time said there was no snipper fire at the airport.
