Originally NATO floated an Orwellian balloon. They were bombing Serb media in order to give the Serbs access to information. Of course the information was NATO propoganda via VOA and Radio Free Europe et al. Deprive people of information so that they can have information. This fits in with bombing for peace no doubt. Now they bomb even without an Orwellian fig leaf to cover their ass.

But in recent days, officials said, they have lifted those objections. <P> Since the air strikes started a month ago, NATO bombers repeatedly have attacked communications transmitters in provincial Yugoslavia, but they haven't yet hit some key facilities in the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade. <P> NATO attacked industrial and communications facilities over central and southern Serbia on its 27th night of bombing raids on Yugoslavia, Serbian media said yesterday. Yugoslavia's state news agency, Tanjug, reported the heaviest bombardments on Serbia's third-largest city, Nis, in the south-east, where it said one person had been killed and at least eight injured in overnight NATO attacks. <P> It also reported new strikes on the Kosovo capital, Pristina, on Kragujevac, home of the huge Zastava car plant destroyed in earlier attacks, and on communications and transport links. Belgrade was also hit, after being spared during Sunday night's attacks, the agency added.<P> Tanjug said residential areas of Nis, as well as the northern industrial part of the city, were targeted and the casualty figure was expected to rise. <P> It quoted the head of the Nis medical centre, Dr Cedo Kutlesic, as saying eight people from the area near Crveni Krst railway station had been admitted to hospital.<P> - <I>Dow Jones, Reuters</I></BOD> </TD></TR></TABLE> <P> <!-- START NAV2 --> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH=475> <TR><TD><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bott_L_navline.gif" ALIGN="BOTTOM" WIDTH="292" HEIGHT="17" BORDER="0" ALT=""></TD><TD> <A HREF="world1.html"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bott_prev_on.gif" ALIGN="BOTTOM" WIDTH="88" HEIGHT="17" BORDER="0" ALT=""></TD><TD> <A HREF="world3.html"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bott_next_on.gif" ALIGN="BOTTOM" WIDTH="95" HEIGHT="17" BORDER="0" ALT=""></TD></TR></TABLE><!-- END NAV2 --> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH=475><TR><TD><A HREF="/index.html" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="self.status='BACK TO SMH HOME';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_home.gif" ALT=" HOME" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="/news/static/html/search/index.html" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="self.status='NEWS ARCHIVES | SEARCH THIS SITE | SEARCH THE WEB';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_search.gif" ALT=" ARCHIVE" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../noframes.html" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="self.status='TEXT INDEX';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_textonly.gif" ALT=" TEXT INDEX" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="/news/static/html/contact/content.html" TARGET="contents" onMouseOver="self.status='CONTACT US';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_feedback.gif" ALT=" CONTACT US" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="/news/static/html/help/content.html" TARGET="contents" onMouseOver="self.status='FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_help.gif" ALT=" FAQ" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="http://www.fairfax.com.au/" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="self.status='FAIRFAX HOME PAGE';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"><IMG SRC="/news/static/graphics/bnav_fairfax.gif" ALT=" FAIRFAX" BORDER="0"></A></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=6 ALIGN="MIDDLE"><font face="Helvetica,Times" size="1" color="#000000"> This material is subject to copyright and any unauthorised use, copying or mirroring is prohibited.</FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P> <!-- AdSpace --> <IFRAME WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=no BORDERCOLOR="#000000" SRC="http://ads.fairfax.com.au/html.ng/site=smh&cat=world&pagepos=2"> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://ads.fairfax.com.au/js.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&site=smh&cat=world&pagepos=2"> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT> <A HREF="http://ads.fairfax.com.au/click.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&site=smh&cat=world&pagepos=2"> <IMG SRC="http://ads.fairfax.com.au/image.ng/Params.richmedia=yes&site=smh&cat=world&pagepos=2"></A> </NOSCRIPT> </IFRAME> <!-- AdSpace --> </BODY> </HTML> --------------06A6643443AEDEA7DA05D837--
