...Qaeda terrorists and Taliban guerrillas. The Serbs' choice of leader for the force, General Goran Radosavljevic, could be contro-versial. During the Kosovo war, he led a cluster of anti-guerrilla teams that, human-rights groups claim, committed atrocities against civilians. Human Rights Watch alleges they killed 41 ethnic Albanians in the village of Cuska in May 1999; Radosavljevic was never indicted. A New York court is also considering charges that he and other police officials are responsible for the execution of three Albanian-Americans.

...Balkan wars. In recent opinion polls, Serbs still blame Croat nationalism, nato and the United States - not Serb aggression - for starting the breakup of Yugoslavia. "He's telling people what they want to hear," says a tribunal official in Belgrade. Shortly before the trial started this February, the Kosovo Albanian publisher Veton Surroi said he hoped Serbs would use the opportunity "to open their souls and say, 'Where was I when that happened? Where were the Serb people?'" But despite the efforts of prosecutors to draw attention to the massacres at Racak and other killing grounds, Milosevic often successfully kept...
