IL TERRORISTA THACI AL RICEVIMENTO DELLA
CONVENTION DEMOCRATICA DI LOS ANGELES
http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins2000/tim2000-8-3.html
Thugs of the World Unite, Part III: Thaci Attends
Democratic Party Convention, Kisses Albright - update Aug. 15, 2000
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 - Hashim Thaci, the Kosovo Albanian
terrorist-in-chief and (thus)
Madeleine Albright’s good pal, attended a gala luncheon on Monday (Aug.
14) at the Democratic
Party convention in Los Angeles. A TiM source who was also there said
that when Albright and
Bill Clinton showed up, “before they spoke, Thaci went up to Albright,
had a brief talk, and then
they kissed twice on the cheeks.”
Thaci’s star rose at the Rambouillet talks in February 1999 where he got
chummy with Albright,
and at the age of 29, became the top Kosovo Albanian negotiator. By
that stage, this unsavory
character had been already wanted for murder of a policeman in Kosovo,
among his other crimes
(see "Wither Dayton, Sprout New War?").

L'ECOLOGISTA KFOR DISTRUGGE I BOSCHI IN KOSMET
(E SPIANA LE COLLINE PER COSTRUIRE LE BASI STATUNITENSI)
KFOR SETS FIRE TO FOREST IN SERBIAN KOSOVOMETOHIJA PROVINCE
GNJILANE, Serbia, Aug 16 (Tanjug) International force Kfor
troops
fired flares late on Tuesday, setting fire to a forest in the east of
the
U.N.run Serbian (Yugoslav) KosovoMetohija province, according to reports
on
Wednesday.
According to amateur radio operators, KFor started a fire in
the
forest outside the village of Izvor in the Novo Brdo municipality, which
the local population eventually managed to put under control.
Radio operators report also that, a few days ago, ethnic Albanian
extremists launched an intimidation attack on the hamlet of Perici in
the
Gnjilane municipality, and on the neighbouring village of Labljane in
the
Novo Brdo municipality.
Two days ago, the ethnic Albanians repeated the attack on the
villages,
from the direction of the neighbouring ethnic Albanian villages of
Zegovce
and Vrbice.
Neither Kfor nor the U.N. mission UNMIK took any action except
to
caution the people in Izvor not to leave their homes or graze their
cattle
between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. because of army exercises near that
Serbpopulated
village.
This kind of behaviour on the part of the international forces
only causes fear and anxiety among the remaining Serbs in this part of
KosovoMetohija.

L'ESERCITO JUGOSLAVO ACCUSATO DI AVER OPERATO IN JUGOSLAVIA !!!
YUGOSLAV ARMY DENIES INFRINGING BUFFER ZONE IN KOSOVOMETOHIJA
BEOGRAD, Aug 15 (Tanjug) A Yugoslav Army spokesman on Tuesday
denied a U.S. paper's report that the Army had provoked an incident on
July
28 by infringing a buffer zone along the boundary of the Serbian
(Yugoslav)
U.N.ruled KosovoMetohija province.
The allegation that the Yugoslav army entered the buffer zone
has
been published in Stars and Stripes Magazine of the U.S. army.
"It is not true that Yugoslav Army troops entered the zone",
Radisic told the national news agency Tanjug.
"The Yugoslav Army consistently respects provisions of U.N.
Resolution
1244 and the MilitaryTechnical Accord, as different from (the
international
force) KFor, whose troops daily deliberately violate these documents in
biased support of ethnic Albanians.
"Meanwhile, the international force daily demonstrates its
impotence to implement the job it has undertaken in KosovoMetohija",
Radisic stressed.
He went on to say that the magazine's story had been picked up
by
some international and domestic news agencies.
He explained that the boundary zone in the southern Serbian
Presevo municipality was entered by local police troops in the line of
duty, and that they had the right to do so under the relevant U.N.
resolution and the Kumanovo MilitaryTechnical Accord.
"The information carried by the U.S. magazine was clearly an
attempt on the part of Kfor to justify its illplanned and arrogant
operation of buzzing with helicopters our police, who had to give up the
task in hand because their lives were in danger", he said.
This is the true reason why Kfor chose to publish the report in
Stars and Stripes Magazine, rather than at their command in Kosovo
Metohija's city of Pristina, Radisic added.

LA RUSSIA CRITICA LE ELEZIONI-FARSA INDETTE DALL'UCKFOR PER IL 28
OTTOBRE
RUSSIA REITERATES OPPOSITION TO U.N.CALLED KOSOVOMETOHIJA POLLS
MOSCOW, Aug 15 (Tanjug) There are no basic conditions for
U.N.planned local elections in KosovoMetohija to be truly free, fair and
democratic and conform to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244,
according
to the Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.
The Ministry issued a statement to say the insistence on
holding
the polls this year at all costs, even without Serb and ethnic Turk
participation, undermines efforts for making that U.N.run Serbian
(Yugoslav) province truly democratic and multiethnic.
This policy can only result in legalizing institutions of the
disbanded ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which are
continuing their illegal activities, this time in the guise of the
Kosovo
Protection Corps, the statement said.
Russia has on several occasions said it could hardly support
such
elections this year, although it does not oppose their holding in
principle.
By calling the elections, U.N. mission (UNMIK) chief Bernard
Kouchner has both flouted Russia's views and assumed the burden of
responsibility for the political consequences they might have for the
future of the region, the statement said.

BASTONATA UNA COPPIA SERBA
ETHNIC ALBANIAN GANG STABS SERB COUPLE
KOSOVSKA KAMENICA, Aug 14 (Tanjug) An ethnic Albanian gang
stabbed an elderly Serb couple from a KosovoMetohija village on Sunday,
according to a local civil rights protection body on Monday.
Husband and wife Milutin and Taska Bogdanovic of the mountain
village of Kriljevo in the Kosovska Kamenica municipality in the east of
the U.N.administered Serbian (Yugoslav) province were attacked at around
11
p.m. local time.
The Committee for Protection and Civil Rights in Kosovska
Kamenica
said the woman, Taska Bogdanovic, sustained serious injuries to her
back,
while her husband received stab wounds to the abdomen. Both had to be
hospitalised.
They were set upon by three ethnic Albanian criminals stealing
cattle from the couple's stable.
The incident has been brought to the attention of the Russian
international force KFor battalion.

IMPUNITO IL TERRORISMO PAN-ALBANESE
U.N. PEACEKEEPERS TOLERATE ETHNIC ALBANIAN CRIMES
OBILIC, Aug 14 (Tanjug) Ethnic Albanian attacks on Serbs in
Obilic in U.N.ruled KosovoMetohija have become everyday occurrences
ignored
by the socalled international peacekeepers, amateur radio operators
report
from KosovoMetohija on Monday.
Late on Sunday, a highpower grenade razed the home of a Serb,
Miodrag Vukobratovic, aged 40. Vukobratovic and his neighbour Branka
Odalovic, aged 60, were injured in the incident, but their lives are not
in
danger.
At around 9:30 p.m. local time (1730 GMT) on Saturday, ethnic
Albanian extremists stoned the Obilic office of the Reconstruction
Directorate, causing substantial damage.
In the Vitina area on Sunday, an ethnic Albanian gang tried to
abduct husband and wife Dragan and Violeta Brankovic, Serbs from the
village of Stubla, near Vitina, in the southeast of the U.N.ruled
Serbian
(Yugoslav) province.
The couple was returning by car from a visit to an ethnic
Albanian
Roman Catholic friend, when a car with five ethnic Albanians of
threatening
disposition blocked their way.
The Albanians ordered them out of the car, breaking the
windows,
but the Serbs managed to escape and reach the nearest international
force
Kfor checkpoint at the village of Grncar, where the assailants gave up
the
chase.

IL TERRORISTA THACI AL RICEVIMENTO DELLA
CONVENTION DEMOCRATICA DI LOS ANGELES
http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins2000/tim2000-8-3.html
Thugs of the World Unite, Part III: Thaci Attends
Democratic Party Convention, Kisses Albright - update Aug. 15, 2000
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 - Hashim Thaci, the Kosovo Albanian
terrorist-in-chief and (thus)
Madeleine Albright’s good pal, attended a gala luncheon on Monday (Aug.
14) at the Democratic
Party convention in Los Angeles. A TiM source who was also there said
that when Albright and
Bill Clinton showed up, “before they spoke, Thaci went up to Albright,
had a brief talk, and then
they kissed twice on the cheeks.”
Thaci’s star rose at the Rambouillet talks in February 1999 where he got
chummy with Albright,
and at the age of 29, became the top Kosovo Albanian negotiator. By
that stage, this unsavory
character had been already wanted for murder of a policeman in Kosovo,
among his other crimes
(see "Wither Dayton, Sprout New War?").

L'ECOLOGISTA KFOR DISTRUGGE I BOSCHI IN KOSMET
(E SPIANA LE COLLINE PER COSTRUIRE LE BASI STATUNITENSI)
KFOR SETS FIRE TO FOREST IN SERBIAN KOSOVOMETOHIJA PROVINCE
GNJILANE, Serbia, Aug 16 (Tanjug) International force Kfor
troops
fired flares late on Tuesday, setting fire to a forest in the east of
the
U.N.run Serbian (Yugoslav) KosovoMetohija province, according to reports
on
Wednesday.
According to amateur radio operators, KFor started a fire in
the
forest outside the village of Izvor in the Novo Brdo municipality, which
the local population eventually managed to put under control.
Radio operators report also that, a few days ago, ethnic Albanian
extremists launched an intimidation attack on the hamlet of Perici in
the
Gnjilane municipality, and on the neighbouring village of Labljane in
the
Novo Brdo municipality.
Two days ago, the ethnic Albanians repeated the attack on the
villages,
from the direction of the neighbouring ethnic Albanian villages of
Zegovce
and Vrbice.
Neither Kfor nor the U.N. mission UNMIK took any action except
to
caution the people in Izvor not to leave their homes or graze their
cattle
between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. because of army exercises near that
Serbpopulated
village.
This kind of behaviour on the part of the international forces
only causes fear and anxiety among the remaining Serbs in this part of
KosovoMetohija.

BEOGRAD, Aug 15 (Tanjug) A Yugoslav Army spokesman on Tuesday
denied a U.S. paper's report that the Army had provoked an incident on
July
28 by infringing a buffer zone along the boundary of the Serbian
(Yugoslav)
U.N.ruled KosovoMetohija province.
The allegation that the Yugoslav army entered the buffer zone
has
been published in Stars and Stripes Magazine of the U.S. army.
"It is not true that Yugoslav Army troops entered the zone",
Radisic told the national news agency Tanjug.
"The Yugoslav Army consistently respects provisions of U.N.
Resolution
1244 and the MilitaryTechnical Accord, as different from (the
international
force) KFor, whose troops daily deliberately violate these documents in
biased support of ethnic Albanians.
"Meanwhile, the international force daily demonstrates its
impotence to implement the job it has undertaken in KosovoMetohija",
Radisic stressed.
He went on to say that the magazine's story had been picked up
by
some international and domestic news agencies.
He explained that the boundary zone in the southern Serbian
Presevo municipality was entered by local police troops in the line of
duty, and that they had the right to do so under the relevant U.N.
resolution and the Kumanovo MilitaryTechnical Accord.
"The information carried by the U.S. magazine was clearly an
attempt on the part of Kfor to justify its illplanned and arrogant
operation of buzzing with helicopters our police, who had to give up the
task in hand because their lives were in danger", he said.
This is the true reason why Kfor chose to publish the report in
Stars and Stripes Magazine, rather than at their command in Kosovo
Metohija's city of Pristina, Radisic added.

LA RUSSIA CRITICA LE ELEZIONI-FARSA INDETTE DALL'UCKFOR PER IL 28
OTTOBRE
RUSSIA REITERATES OPPOSITION TO U.N.CALLED KOSOVOMETOHIJA POLLS
MOSCOW, Aug 15 (Tanjug) There are no basic conditions for
U.N.planned local elections in KosovoMetohija to be truly free, fair and
democratic and conform to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244,
according
to the Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.
The Ministry issued a statement to say the insistence on
holding
the polls this year at all costs, even without Serb and ethnic Turk
participation, undermines efforts for making that U.N.run Serbian
(Yugoslav) province truly democratic and multiethnic.
This policy can only result in legalizing institutions of the
disbanded ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which are
continuing their illegal activities, this time in the guise of the
Kosovo
Protection Corps, the statement said.
Russia has on several occasions said it could hardly support
such
elections this year, although it does not oppose their holding in
principle.
By calling the elections, U.N. mission (UNMIK) chief Bernard
Kouchner has both flouted Russia's views and assumed the burden of
responsibility for the political consequences they might have for the
future of the region, the statement said.

IMPUNITO IL TERRORISMO PAN-ALBANESE
U.N. PEACEKEEPERS TOLERATE ETHNIC ALBANIAN CRIMES
OBILIC, Aug 14 (Tanjug) Ethnic Albanian attacks on Serbs in
Obilic in U.N.ruled KosovoMetohija have become everyday occurrences
ignored
by the socalled international peacekeepers, amateur radio operators
report
from KosovoMetohija on Monday.
Late on Sunday, a highpower grenade razed the home of a Serb,
Miodrag Vukobratovic, aged 40. Vukobratovic and his neighbour Branka
Odalovic, aged 60, were injured in the incident, but their lives are not
in
danger.
At around 9:30 p.m. local time (1730 GMT) on Saturday, ethnic
Albanian extremists stoned the Obilic office of the Reconstruction
Directorate, causing substantial damage.
In the Vitina area on Sunday, an ethnic Albanian gang tried to
abduct husband and wife Dragan and Violeta Brankovic, Serbs from the
village of Stubla, near Vitina, in the southeast of the U.N.ruled
Serbian
(Yugoslav) province.
The couple was returning by car from a visit to an ethnic
Albanian
Roman Catholic friend, when a car with five ethnic Albanians of
threatening
disposition blocked their way.
The Albanians ordered them out of the car, breaking the
windows,
but the Serbs managed to escape and reach the nearest international
force
Kfor checkpoint at the village of Grncar, where the assailants gave up
the
chase.
