The radio's sources at the Serbian government said the disbanding
of the Red Berets had been completed and that all in the unit had
turned over their weapons, uniforms, badges, and equipment. About
150 Red Berets yesterday afternoon left their training centre in
Kula.
About 15 have been detained for questioning, people who were the
immediate bodyguard of Milorad Lukovic aka Legija, a former
commander and one of the leaders of the so-called Zemun Clan --
criminals suspected of the recent assassination of Prime Minister
Zoran Djindjic.
Serbia's interior ministry said that a ballistic analysis of a
"Heckler & Koh G3" gun unmistakably confirmed that Zvezdan
Jovanovic used it to shoot at Djindjic on March 12.
