NATO WAR CRIMES IN YUGOSLAVIA
Slobodan Milosevic is on trial for crimes against humanity, genocide
and war crimes. However, Pravda.Ru remembers the crimes perpetrated
by NATO in its illegal campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999. We cite
the ?collateral damage? from just two months of this 73-day campaign.
5th April - Aleksicac, mining city. A precision weapon, a laser-
guided bomb, kills 17 civilians as it misses its target, smashing
into houses.
9th April - Pristina, Kosovo. Civilian houses destroyed with
unconfirmed loss of life as a bombing misses its target, a
communications centre.
12th April - Grdelicka Klisura. 55 civilians murdered by a NATO
strafing attack on a bridge as a crowded passenger train was passing.
14th April - Djakovica, more civilian passenger trains bombed. 75
civilians murdered.
28th April - Surdulica, residential area bombed. Unconfirmed number
of deaths, but huge losses of property. The victims are still waiting
to be paid.
1st May - Luzane, Kosovo. Another bombing raid on a bridge as a
passenger bus was crossing. 47 civilians were murdered in this
attack.
7th May - Nis. In full daylight, the city centre, crowded with
civilians carrying out their shopping, was strafed by NATO military
aircraft. Unconfirmed number of deaths, damage to property severe.
The victims have yet to receive compensation.
13th May - Korisa, Kosovo. An Albanian village is inexplicably
targeted by NATO warplanes. 87 civilians murdered.
20th May - Precision bomb dropped on Belgrade strikes the Dragisa
Misovic hospital in Dedinja, murdering patients.
21st May - Istok, Northern Kosovo. A prison is bombed, murdering at
least 100 inmates.
22nd May - Kosare, Kosovo. NATO inexplicable bombs a UCK position on
the Albanian border. Unconfirmed number of deaths.
30th May - Varvarin, another bridge strafed while civilians were
crossing. Unconfirmed number of deaths.
31st May - Surdulica, sanatorium targeted. 20 senior citizens
murdered.
31st May - Precision bombs launched at Novi Pazar murder 23 civilians
as they destroy a residential area.
Carla del Ponte does Mr. Milosevic a favour by pursuing this case. It
will give him the opportunity to open up many wounds and speak out,
exposing some embarrassing new truths about how the international
community handled the Balkans crisis.
As the ex-President of Yugoslavia pulls the punches, and the truth is
revealed, Carla del Ponte will wonder why she ever launched her
vindictive crusade against the Serbs.

LARGE UNEXPLODED BOMBS AT 40 LOCATIONS ACROSS SERBIA
NOVI SAD, Feb 3 (Tanjug) - Director of the center for removing mines
and other unexploded devices Petar Mihajlovic told the Novi Sad
Dnevnik newspaper, in an interview released on Monday, that at 40
locations across Serbia there are still large unexploded aircraft
bombs, left over from NATO's bombing in 1999. Most of them are in
Belgrade, and there are also some in Novi Sad, at 9 locations in the
rivers Danube and Sava, Mihajlovic specified. The international
foundation for mine clearance and aid to victims of mines, he said,
has accepted to finance the removal of aircraft bombs in Belgrade with
200,000 euros and has set aside 240,000 euros for the first phase of
clearing cluster bombs from the airport in Nis. For sounding the bed
of the Danube for left over missiles in the Novi Sad area, according
to the manager of the project for clearing the Danube of the Belgrade
firm PMC engineering, Dragomir Gavrilovic, are needed about 600,000
euros. "It is absolutely necessary to sound five more kilometers of
the Danube bed, Gavrilovic told the Novi Sad Dnevnik newspaper.
