Claims of up to 100,000 ethnic Albanians massacred in Kosovo revised to under 3,000 as exhumations near end Special report: Kosovo The final toll of civilians confirmed massacred by Yugoslav forces in Kosovo is likely to be under 3,000, far short of the numbers claimed by Nato governments during last year's controversial air strikes on Yugoslavia. As war crimes experts from Britain and other countries prepare to wind down the exhumation of hundreds of graves in Kosovo on behalf of the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague, officials concede they have not borne out the...

Before I get to the point in this commentary I want to frame it properly. In order to do that, as well as keep it short and to the point, I’ll first summarize rather briefly. The Moslems were killing the Christians so Clinton pushed an arms embargo against them. When the Christians began killing the Moslems Clinton wouldn’t lift the embargo. He did get a man to let the Iranians know we would look the other way if they smuggled weapons into the Moslems. (It was another of the definition of ‘is’ things for which he was so well known.)...

I'm relatively new to the world of FReeping for the most part. I need some help in understanding what the war in Bosnia was about. I'm particularly interested in the Muslim aspect of this. I've read numerous articles about this and Milosovic. I'm finding it hard to distinguish who was right and who was wrong. The impression I get from what I read is that Milosovic was killing Muslims and also that the Muslims were raping and beheading people etc. I've also been interested in reading about the many uprisings of Muslims throughout history and how it may relate to...

...Tonight, September12, 2002, I am watching a PBS program describe Milosovic as a master at the use of television for propagandistic manipulation of large groups of people. He is being tried in the Hague (Netherlands, also known as Holland) for war crimes. If he alone is convicted by this world war crimes court, it will be a one-sided miscarriage of justice. We spent hundreds of millions of dollars bombing our longtime friends on behalf of people who dragged marines through dusty African streets, blew a hole in the U.S.S. Cole and ultimately (and intentionally) slaughtered thousands of American citizens, men,...

ANALYSIS: First Milosevic "Insider" Testifies An Albanian who served as a captain in the Yugoslav army at the height of the Kosovo conflict challenges key elements of Milosevic's defence.By Mirko Klarin in The Hague (TU No. 265, May 6-11, 2002)At the end of the May 8 hearing, Slobodan Milosevic strongly objected to the protected witness status of Witness K4, whose appearance - scheduled for the following day - was billed as the first time the court would hear an "insider" testify against Milosevic. Since the witness was a Kosovo Albanian living in Kosovo, Milosevic said, there was no need for...

quot;This is not war in the traditional sense . . .quot; By JOHN DAVID POWELL TMNS Contributor March 15, 2002 Note: The war crimes trial of Former Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosovic continues in The Hague, amid fears among the Serbian people that they, too, are on trial in the eyes of the world. While there is little doubt about the carnage in Serbia and particularly in Kosovo, the troubling question remains about why the Clinton Administration and NATO chose to intervene in Kosovo and not in other nations, a question that will never be answered for millions of victims of...
