Syndicate: FWD: 75 Dead In Nato Raids In Kosovo |
Fowarded news story <snip> Latest News: Source: AFP Thursday April 15 4:13:15 AM Seventy-five people were killed and 25 were injured in NATO air raids on two refugee columns in western Kosovo on Wednesday. In Kosovo, an AFP reporter at the scene in the village of Meha, some five kilometres from the border with Albania, saw 20 dead and four injured in one of the two bombings. He was present while an investigating judge was counting the bodies. Some of the victims, ethnic Albanians, were in a convoy of vehicles and tractors, while six were apparently killed in a house, their bodies pulled out from the ruins. "NATO bombs caused a new humanitarian catastrophe and tragedy, bombing the two convoys of refugees returning to their homes," Yugoslav foreign ministry spokesman Nebojsa Vujovic said. He added that the ethnic Albanian refugees, with "100 vehicles and tractors" were returning from the region bordering Albania to their homes inside Kosovo. "Seventy-five were killed and 25 were seriously injured, and have been hospitalised," Vujovic said. "We consider this a crime against humanity. It is a continuation of the aggression. NATO is breaking all international standards and laws," Vujovic said. </snip> r a d i o q u a l i a ((o)) audio -> modulation radioqualia@va.com.au http://www.radioqualia.va.com.au/ Help free media in Yugoslavia: http://helpB92.xs4all.nl ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/east/ to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
