...string of professional hits that have eliminated both friend and foe of the Milosevic regime over the past year, Friday's attempt on Draskovic was an amateurish hit-or-miss affair, the gunmen spraying the opposition leader's holiday apartment with automatic rifle fire while he was vacationing in Montenegro.
