Attackers on Serbs Discover Details Of The Crime

14 Apr (Nedeljni Telegraf, weekly, Belgrade)

"The order to begin the attacks on KFOR and extermination and killing of Serbs we received from the HQ on 16th of March late in the afternoon. We immediately called our guys and left. We stopped when the order for withdrawal came from the HQ".

This was stated to UNMIK investigation authorities and the international investigation judge by one of 200 arrested K/Albanians, a former KLA veteran, who is suspected of organizing and participation in the violence against Serbs.

The Nedeljni Telegraf sources, close to KFOR Command say that this ex-KLA member admitted "existence of the plan for attacks against the Serbs, KFOR and UNMIK since the beginning of this year" but he justified that he "doesn't know who is in this HQ", because it is "our old rule not to know the ones above us".

He also said that the decision to attack KFOR with weapons was brought "after it was suggested by friends from the world to act in the same way as in Iraq", where the Iraqis kill Americans everyday and for that reason they get the power into their hands in a faster way.

"We want power in Kosovo as well - said this KLA member. We have been liberated from Serbia, and now we are under the worst occupation of the international forces, which they underestimate and humiliate us".

The Nedeljni Telegraf source says that many arrested Albanians admitted to UNMIK police "That the real attack against the occupiers (members of the international community and Serbs, NT editor) will follow."

He also admitted that few KLA units "have been reorganized into battle groups of three to five fighters, that they are well armed, supplied with explosive devices for action".

International representatives in Kosovo took very seriously these information from the investigation process, which made them reinforce their military bases and offices beside the concrete walls with barbed wire too. More patrols have been deployed, the number of personnel who have access to their facilities has been reduced, and a number of K/Albanians that work for them have been sent to vacation or fired.
