SERBIAN FORCES CONTINUE ATTACKS IN KOSOVO

( Editorial: --> 7688 ) PRISTINA, March 6 (Hina)- Serbian forces continued attacking the villages of Prekaz and Lausha in the municipality of Srbica, Kosovo senior human rights activist Behxhet Shalja told Hina on Thursday. It was feared that several hundred Albanians had been killed in these attacks, conducted by police forces with the assistance of sundry paramilitary units, notorious for their participation in war crimes in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Shalja said. In the village of Prekaz, torched houses were razed to the ground with armoured cars and tanks to obliterate all evidence of the killings according to the Bosnian recipe, Shalya specified. On behalf of the Kosovo Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Liberties, Shalya expressed concern that the international community had not shown determination to prevent the attack in the Srbica municipality. "If nothing is done, this municipality might share the fate of Srebrenica," Shalya warned. (hina) jn as /mb 061706 MET mar 98
