Subject: 2 reports of Serbs being murdered celebrating
Christmas Dear Congressman Wolf,
FYI.
Just like fish in a barrel, Serbs continue to be blown to bits by
ethnic Albanians right under the noses of KFOR. The
dream is to have a pure Albanian Kosovo, which they are rapidly
achieving, thanks to the silence of the U.S. Congress. Kind of sounds
familiar, doesn't it? Wasn't it the dream of Hitler to have a pure German
state?
Your constituent,

Two reports:
1. Serb shopkeeper blown up on Christmas Eve
2. Four killed in Serbian explosion
Report #1:
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Jan. 6 - A 36-year-old Serb man was blown up on
Sunday by a booby-trapped grenade in his shop in eastern Kosovo, the Yugoslav province's United Nations police force said. Serb leaders expressed outrage at the killing, which took place on Christmas Eve in the calendar of the Orthodox Christian faith to which most Serbs belong. Police initially believed a hand grenade had been thrown into the store in
the town of Kamenica but later discovered evidence that the grenade had been linked to a trip wire. ''The victim entered the shop from the rear door and when he proceeded to the front door to unlock it, he stepped or tripped on the wire and triggered the grenade,'' U.N. police spokesman Meeraj Singh told Reuters. Serbs have been the targets of many attacks by members of Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority since NATO bombing in 1999 ended repressive Serb rule in the province and made the territory an international protectorate. The Serbian government's Kosovo coordination centre said the victim of Sunday's blast was shop owner Dragoslav Markovic. It called on the United Nations and NATO peacekeepers to do everything possible to find the perpetrators and to take more measures to ensure freedom of movement for non-Albanians in Kosovo. ''This loathsome terrorist act on Christmas Eve, before the great Christian holiday, once more warns us that after two years, the international community is not managing to find an answer to terrorism,'' a statement by local Serb politicians said.

Report #2
Four Killed in Serbia Explosion
By Associated Press January 7, 2002, 12:13 PM EST BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- A man set off a hand grenade in a pub in northern Serbia, killing four people and injuring another 20 on Monday, the state-run Tanjug news agency reported. The report said that an unidentified man set off the blast at the Big Rouge pub in Novi Knezevac, a town about 80 miles north of the capital Belgrade, near the Hungarian border. The man died in the explosion along with three other customers. The pub was packed with people celebrating Orthodox Christmas, Tanjug reported. According to the agency, the motive for the blast was not known. Police sealed off the premises to investigate. Police did not immediately comment on the explosion. After four wars in the past decade, much of the Balkans is strewn with mines, and large quantities of weapons and ammunition remain unaccounted for and in private possession.
