In this dark land, liberation can only end in more bloodshed

Article Abstract:

The agreement designed to end the conflict in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, will allow ethnic Albanians to return there. However, it will probably also mean that many of Kosovo's remaining 100,000 Serbs are driven away. President Bill Clinton and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair have made a commitment to protect both Serbs and Albanians, but this will not be possible. It is possible that the Kosovo Liberation Army is already attacking Serbs. However, it is rumoured that the Serbian government will not permit the Serbs to leave Kosovo.

Silent danger lurks in the shadowy olive groves of Lebanon

Article Abstract:

Norwegian troops undertaking peace-keeping patrols in Israel's south Lebanon occupation zone must act with extreme caution, especially at night. They must pass through areas used by the Hizbollah when making their attacks on Israeli fortifications, and must sometimes endure very difficult conditions in the interests of their safety. The troops must keep both the Israelis and the Hizbollah out of the United Nations zone, but can only operate within certain restricted areas, for fear of falling victim to mines.

'Collateral damage' lies dying in a shattered Belgrade hospital

Article Abstract:

A Nato bomb attack on a barracks in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, caused significant damage to the city's neighbouring Military Medical Academy and wounded several patients there. The barrack buildings were empty, and staff at the hospital feel that Nato took an unacceptable risk with patients' lives. Nato has stated that it takes great care to avoid civilian casualties, but this is clearly not the case, as highlighted by the attack on a passenger train in south-eastern Serbia while bombing a bridge.
