...wandered away from the Yugoslav escorts, a little boy recognized a Western accent and ran to get his father. The man waved me inside. In a furtive whisper, speaking in Albanian with a few words of English, he said two Yugoslav tanks had been hidden in the village. Why bomb here? Because military police had been living in the Albanian houses. At night they stood outside those homes and fired rockets at the planes. Showing pictures of his children, the man said his family had left for Macedonia. He would join them soon. In Kosovo you are a potential target...
...bomber struck the Chinese embassy in Belgrade last month, mistaking it for a Serbian military-supply building, State Department and Pentagon officials placed discreet phone calls to foreign missions in Washington. Could you please provide us, they asked, with the address of your embassy in the Yugoslav capital? The embassies were only too happy to supply the info.

Where were the Yugoslavs when the kids of Sarajevo and Srebrenica were killed by bombs? AHMED HADROVIC Istanbul...
More worrying to Milosevic than utilities problems are Monday's protests by families of army reservists. After promising over the weekend that on-leave reservists who were needed as breadwinners wouldn't be redeployed, the Yugoslav army Tuesday warned that men who failed to return to their units by noon would face a court-martial. "The reserves are furious because they'd been promised that they would be replaced in Kosovo," says Anastasijevic. "They feel they've done their part and now it's somebody else's turn, but logistical problems caused by the bombing have prevented Belgrade from doing...
