This is the case I was speaking of, and it did happen in Gnjilane, but it was soldiers, not marines which shot the Albanians, and it was two killed, not one.

The U.S. kept the information from the trial for a year. It doesn't say here, but it was the soldier who shot the Albanian himself who spoke up. At that point it became too obvious and known that the Serbs were innocent. So the U.S. couldn't keep the innocent Serbs locked up, as it wanted to and did do. Locking up innocent Serbs and letting Muslims rule the land and murder non-Muslims is part of the U.S. Balkans mission.

US troops blamed for Kosovo killing

New evidence presented to a court in Kosovo indicates that an ethnic Albanian war hero was killed last year by US soldiers, and not three Serbs who have spent a year in prison accused of the murder.

The new information was contained in a 130-page report submitted by the US authorities to the international court trying three members of a Serb family accused of killing Afrim Gagica on 10 July last year.

The presiding judge said the report revealed that US troops killed two armed ethnic Albanians in a shoot-out that day, instead of one as previously acknowledged.

Official sources close to the case said the Americans had now confirmed that the second person killed was Afrim Gagica.

Correspondents say it is unclear why the Americans did not supply the information earlier.

"These are obviously new elements and we have to discuss them," said the French presiding judge, Patrice de Charette.

Serbs' defence

The incident happened in the town of Gnjilane in south-eastern Kosovo, just a few weeks after Nato-led K-For peacekeeping troops moved into the province.

The Momcilovic family, who ran a car repair business in Gnjilane, say Mr Gagica and several other armed ethnic Albanians came to attack them in their home.

They told the court that Mr Gagica and the others had ordered them to come out into the street, and that when they refused a gun battle erupted.

US peacekeepers stationed nearby then intervened, they said.

Miroljub Momcilovic and his sons Jugoslav and Boban were arrested immediately after the shoot-out.

The court saw evidence from security cameras on Friday which the defence says supports the Serbs' case.

The judge said the court would discuss the new evidence when the trial resumes on Monday.

International concern

The US military said it had reopened the investigation after receiving an inquiry from the media, and had passed on the findings to the court.

Amnesty International warned in April that the trial - which began with a panel of ethnic Albanian judges who refused to admit the video evidence - risked being a serious miscarriage of justice.

The US military submission includes testimony from 35 US servicemen on duty in Gnjilane on the night of the shooting.

"Locking up innocent Serbs and letting Muslims rule the land and murder non-Muslims is part of the U.S. Balkans mission."

Absolutely correct , Joan.

From retrieving surrounded ( and about to be liquidated ) mujahideen in Macdenoia in 2001 to arming the Islamists in Bosnia. In Bihac, for example, U.S. fighters were escorting cargo planes from Iran, who were resupplying Mujahideen in the enclave.

Many senior U.S. politicians speak openly of giving the Balkans to the Islamists in order to win some brownie points on Arab street. I'll find the quotes.

It's beyond pitiful.
