Pristina, March 7th, 2000 - Leader of the Albanian terrorists in Kosovo, 
Hashim Thaci, told recently foreign reporters, quoted by the Voice of 
Russia, about the methods of demonizing Serbs, i.e. how his terrorist 
KLA committed crimes in order to urgently provoke western military 
intervention in Yugoslavia. 

Although, according to the Voice of Russia, a bizarre figure, Thaci, 
chosen by Washington to "represent" Albanian interests in the province, 
confessed that the Albanian separatists' tactics, in the last year's 
aggression on Yugoslavia, amounted to a major provoking of Yugoslav Army and police forces. 

Frequent attacks on Serbian police and YA troops in this period weren't 
the actions of the so-called guerilla against the occupier, as the 
Kosovo terrorists and their order givers, first of all from the US and 
Germany, tried to present, but provocations calculated to challenge the 
legitimate security forces, whose response should have been at any cost 
declared a repressive act and violation of human rights. 

Thus, according to Thaci in their attacks on Yugoslav troops and police, 
the Albanian terrorists used local civilians as human shields. That 
inevitably led to civilian casualties, which was used by the West in 
brutal attacks on Serbia and Yugoslavia, all because of the so-called 
protection of Albanian human rights in Kosovo, reports the radio. 
According to the foreign media reports, quoted by the Russian radio, 
obviously "carried away", Thaci mentioned the well known incident in the 
village of Racak, which is a tragic repetition of the scenario realized 
at Markale market in Sarajevo, during the civil war in Bosnia. 

Thaci revealed a public secret and confessed that the KLA members 
committed the murder of four Serbian policemen in Racak. 

Furthermore, the Voice of Russia quotes Thaci, who confirmed that the 
terrorists killed the Serbian policemen on purpose in order to provoke 
adequate reaction. Indeed, a police action followed, but it was no 
punitive expedition of Serb special forces against Albanian farmers, but 
a legitimate operation against the Albanian extremists, who made their 
stronghold in Racak. 

Thaci admitted that, later on, the bodies of the KLA members, killed in 
the clashes in the area of Racak, were discovered. 

The alleged massacre in the village of Racak was invented on the basis 
of some dozen discovered bodies. However, an independent international 
expertise followed, and the OSCE experts from Byelorussia and Finland, 
established that the bodies belonged to the KLA extremists. 

In spite of this, NATO and the leading western countries blamed Belgrade 
for the killing of the so-called Albanian farmers from Racak. That was 
the first in a series of accusations in an already worked out scenario 
for deceiving the international public, i.e. preparing the field for the 
NATO aggression on Yugoslavia, stressed the radio. 

"Some other false testimonies on the so-called ethnic cleansing of the 
Albanians carried out by the Yugoslav authorities were never confirmed" 
says the reporter and reminds that the investigation was conducted by 
very prominent organizations, like the UN, OSCE, British Parliament 
Commission etc. 

The US, British and Spanish experts from the NATO countries concluded 
that 50,000 innocent civilians were never killed, as it was claimed by 
the manipulated western media, but several hundred extremists. 
Thaci failed to explain one thing - how was a terrorist organization, 
like his KLA, transformed by force in some kind of "Albanian resistance" 
to Belgrade? 

When they appeared on the scene, only two years ago, KLA troops were 
called extreme and compared to the Red Khmers, who massacred their own people in Cambodia, reports the radio and adds that even the American CIA added this gang on the list of world terrorist organizations. 
However, this crowd of idlers and mobsters - at first scarcely dressed  
and poorly armed - entered Kosovo last year, following KFOR troops and 
pretended to be the only legitimate authority. 

Their violence and terror against the remaining Serbs are now being 
disguised by influenced media and humanitarian organizations in the 
West, because they have no other way to justify the aggression on a 
sovereign country and their current actions in Kosovo, 
concludes the Voice of Russia.
