No Mass Graves In Kosovo
Investigations by international medical and specialised
teams clearly show that no mass executions have been
conducted in Kosovo, the Rome daily L'Unita
quoted Thursday a spokesman for the International Criminal
Tribunal in The Hague as saying.
The paper said that the investigations to date, which it said
had been thorough, by medical teams from 15 countries
including the United States, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Ireland, France, Germany, Iceland, Luxembourg, Spain,
Switzerland and Great Britain, had only led to the discovery of
187 bodies in different locations.
The paper said that reports on mass graves in the Yugoslav republic
of Serbia's southern province, launched by the international community
during NATO's March 24-June 10 aggression on Yugoslavia, were, consequently,
totally untrue.
In most of the places claimed to be the sites of mass execution like
those at Trepca, Djakovica and Izbica, not a single body has been
found, the paper said.
The international teams' investigations have shown that NATO's claim
that it must bomb Yugoslavia to stop genocide in Kosovo
was nothing but a pretext to do so because there was no genocide in
the province in the first place, the daily said.
