No Bodies at Rumored Grave Site in Kosovo
By REUTERS

PRISTINA, Kosovo -- War crimes investigators have found nothing in a Kosovo mine shaft where hundreds of bodies were rumored to
be hidden, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has said.

"They found absolutely nothing," a tribunal spokeswoman, Kelly Moore, said on Monday.

Rumors that Serbian forces had hidden the bodies of up to 700 ethnic Albanians in the Trebca lead and zinc mine, near the northern
city of Mitrovica, had been circulating for months. Tribunal experts had brought in special excavation equipment to investigate the
rumors, which had been widely reported in the Kosovo media.

The Hague-based tribunal has indicted President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia and four other senior Yugoslav and Serbian officials
on war crimes charges stemming from the Serbian campaign of violence against Kosovo Albanians earlier this year.

Forensic scientists with the tribunal have investigated more than 150 mass grave sites across the Serbian province in the last few
months and have hundreds more suspected sites to examine.

UN worker killed by mob in Pristina
Chris Bird in Pristina
Wednesday October 13, 1999

The international community in Kosovo was in shock yesterday after the brutal lynching and murder of a United Nations employee in a
crowded thoroughfare in Kosovo's capital Pristina, a chilling reminder of the intensity of ethnic hatred which continues to plague the
southern Serbian province.

Valentin Krumov, a Bulgarian aged 38, was killed because he spoke a simple phrase in Serbian.

He had arrived in Pristina on Monday from New York to work with the UN interim administration in Kosovo (Unmik). After dinner at a
hotel, Krumov and two female colleagues walked along the busy Mother Theresa street, which is closed to traffic in the evenings.

According to Inspector Gilles Moreau of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, now serving with the UN in Pristina, a group of ethnic
Albanian youths followed them and asked him what the time was. When Krumov replied in Serbian, the youths began to kick and
punch him. A large crowd gathered, separating Krumov from his colleagues.

"All of a sudden, a shot was heard, the crowd dispersed and the body of Mr Krumov was on the ground, lifeless," said Inspector
Moreau. Krumov had been shot in the head.

There are about 15,000 foreign nationals with organisations in Kosovo, plus 40,000 foreign troops with the Nato-led peacekeeping
force, K-For. Unmik said yesterday it was reviewing its security advice to staff.

The head of Unmik, the former French minister Bernard Kouchner, described the killing as "a disgusting and cowardly act".

Even Dodik says.....

BOSNIAN SERB PREMIER: KARADZIC MUST GO TO HAGUE... Moderate
caretaker Prime Minister Milorad Dodik said that former
Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and other indicted war
criminals must go to the Hague-based war crimes tribunal
"whether they like it or not." Dodik stressed that a few
individuals must not be allowed to spoil the Republika
Srpska's chances of receiving international aid, investments,
and support, the Frankfurt-based Serbian daily "Vesti"
reported on 13 October. He added that it is necessary to
bring to justice people who killed others simply because the
victims were of a different ethnic group. Dodik argued that
such killers could easily murder persons of their own
nationality as well. Observers note that this is the sharpest
public statement yet by a moderate Bosnian Serb leader
against indicted war criminals. Dodik does not appear to have
mentioned General Ratko Mladic, however. Mladic is one of the
tribunal's most wanted war criminals but enjoys considerable
popularity among Serbs as a defender of his people. PM

...AS SHOULD MILOSEVIC. Dodik added that Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic and Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Vojislav
Seselj should go to The Hague, "Vesti" reported on 13
October. The Bosnian Serb leader suggested that this would be
the best way for the two men "to prolong their biological
lives." Dodik was presumably alluding to the political
killings that are no rarity in modern-day Serbia. He added
that he supports calls by representatives of the
international community for a ban on the Bosnian branch of
Seselj's Serbian Radical Party.

Also from RFE/RL this interesting piece....

EXPERTS DISCOVER MASS GRAVE AT RAHOVEC. German forensics
experts have found a mass grave near Rahovec that may be one
of the oldest ones from the recent conflict, AP reported.
Peter Koehler, who heads the team, said that the grave may
contain up to 90 bodies and date from the July 1998 Serbian
attack on the mainly ethnic Albanian town (see "RFE/RL
Newsline," 21 July 1998).

From RFE/RL we have another "alleged" discovery of another "alleged" mass grave that "allegedly" contains up to 90 "allegedly" ethnic Albanian bodies.

This report is likely disinformation concocted by the spooks at RFE/RL to deflect attention from the recent report that there were NO dead bodies found in the mine shaft that was previously alleged to be a mass burial site of Serb atrocities.

How much farther into the sewers of self-degradation will these CIA employed journalists sink in order to please their masters?
