BELGRADE, June 3 (Hina) - Belgrade's Radio B-92 reported today the
bodies of Kosovo Albanian women, children, elderly people, and
people wearing Kosovo Liberation Army (OVK) uniforms have been
found in a refrigerator truck pulled out of the Danube River.
Citing a Serbian Interior Ministry source, the radio reported the
bodies were found in the river, in a refrigerator truck which was
dug up in Belgrade in 1999.
The source, insisting on anonymity, confirmed the digging up of
bodies began on Saturday, and so far 83 bodies and several heads
without trunks have been found.
Signs of torture are visible on each and every one of the remains,
the source claimed.
During n investigation, police have gained intelligence that
besides the former state and police leadership, the leadership of
the Yugoslav Army participated in actions to remove evidence of the
crimes in Kosovo.
"An increasing number of names is appearing as the investigation
progresses, and I can say nobody will be spared," the source told
Radio B-92.
The refrigerator truck was towed from Kosovo's town of Pec to Teki
in 1999 where it was pushed in the Danube, doors sealed. After some
time the truck floated up to the surface, part of it showing out of
the water. The then secret police pulled the truck out of the river
and blew it up with explosives. They then took the bodies. The case
was treated as top secret until a month ago when a diver spotted the
truck in the river.
