Reuters (with additional material by AFP and AP). 12 March 2003. Serbia Says Ex-Police Chief Involved in PM Killing. BELGRADE -- The Serbian government on Wednesday named a former head of a battle-hardened police unit as one of the leaders of a criminal gang it accused of being behind the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. The government said Milorad Lukovic, also known as Legija, was one of around 20 named leaders of a group it called the Zemun clan, named after a Belgrade municipality. "The assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic represents an attempt by this group to stop the fight against organized crime that just started and for them to avoid their own arrest," the government said in a statement. Djindjic, who played a key role in the downfall of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, was shot dead Wednesday in an attack in Belgrade, independent radio reported. Acting Serbian President Natasa Micic, citing "a danger for constitutional order," imposed a nationwide state of emergency, giving the military the same powers as police to detain suspects and investigate. After Wednesday's shooting, the Cabinet held an emergency session, declaring three days of mourning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
