-Caveat Lector- XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT FLASH XXXXX THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1999 22:59:55 UTC XXXXX D-DAY PUT ON HOLD: SERB MILITARY HAVING TROUBLE GETTING OUT; NATO ENTRANCE DELAYED UNTIL SATURDAY The Serbian withdrawal has been slowed by damaged equipment and fuel shortage as well as by land mines and booby traps. Late on Thursday night NATO called off plans for a dawn cross into Kosovo by British paratroopers. In a lightning-fast D-Day invasion, the Brits were to have gone in after lifting off by helicopter at 4 a.m. from the Skopje military compound. The plan, which had been kept secret, was quietly canceled Thursday night because Serbs were having trouble getting out, the NEW YORK TIMES is set to report in fresh editions. The paratroopers were to be swiftly followed by other British soldiers -- an advance guard was to have secured the main highway running from the border to Pristina. New plans are being drawn for a Saturday entrance. BRITS WITH EGGS The sudden delay caught British newspapers on Friday with their journalistic pants down. Papers up and down Fleet were caught screaming: INVASION! An invasion that had not yet gone down. The DAILY STAR on Friday: HERE WE COME, SLOBBA "British troops march into Kosovo today with a no-nonsense warning for President Milosevic - 'Don't try any tricks on us, Slobba.' The EXPRESS: PARAS GO MARCHING IN MIRROR: IN WE GO "Bowed under 120lb packs and bristling with weapons, British Paras lead the advance into Kosovo." The SUN: OUR BOYS: LET'S HAVE TEA IN KOSOVO ...Well, maybe on Saturday. Developing... X X X X X THE COMING 'EXPLOSION' Not to be confused with the current situation in Washington, D.C., the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa faces violent explosions of fecal matter due to massive obstructions in its sewage system! "We are racing against time to unblock the pipes before the pipes and manholes overflow or explode," Humberto Puerto, manager of the National Aqueduct and Sewerage Network Service, told wire reporters mid-week. "There are tanks that are full of fecal matter and that could explode because of the gases being produced and the pressure of new fluids." Hurricane Mitch caused severe cracks in the sewerage network of Tegucigalpa, a city of more than 1 million people. More than 80 percent of the city's pipes are destroyed and the remaining 20 percent are blocked by earth, rubbish, sand and human waste. Fecal matter and urine have been running openly through city streets due to the blockages in underground pipelines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filed by Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereport.com for steaks and breaks (c)DRUDGE REPORT 1999 DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
