[CTRL] Serb Troops Invade Albania
-Caveat Lector- Deep Serb Incursion Into Albania By GREG MYRE .c The Associated Press BAJRAM CURRI, Albania (AP) -- Yugoslav troops fighting ethnic Albanian rebels swept over the border into Albania in one of their deepest incursions yet from Kosovo, international observers reported today. Witnesses also say a crashed Yugoslav MiG fighter, which was reportedly downed Tuesday at the height of the fighting, is on the Albanian side of the border near the village of Padesh, a spokesman for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said. The area is too dangerous to approach the plane, and there was no word on the fate of its crew. Fighting between Yugoslav forces and the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army raged all Tuesday well into nightfall. The sound of shells exploding on both sides of the border were heard in the northern town of Bajram Curri, and heavy plumes of smoke billowed into the air. Twenty Serb troops occupied the Albanian border village of Perroi I Thanes, OSCE spokesman Pier Gonggrijp said, quoting witnesses. Later Tuesday, 50 Yugoslav army troops clashed with KLA forces in another border village, Kasaj, said Gonggrijp. The volatile area is near a cross-border corridor through which the KLA has been sending troops and ammunition to reinforce their fighters in Kosovo, part of Yugoslavia's Serbia province. Some 40,000 Serb troops and special police are deployed in Kosovo, from where more than 750,000 ethnic Albanians have fled. Thirty wounded KLA fighters were hospitalized in Bajram Curri on Tuesday, and KLA sources said three others were killed in the fighting, ``This is the deepest penetration (by Serb forces) and the longest we have seen,'' said Gonggrijp, who has been in Bajram Curri since December. Shelling and cross-border incursions are routine in the area, but the fighting on Tuesday was exceptional. There was no word on Serb casualties or whether all the troops have withdrawn. According to local KLA commanders and police, the Serb MiG fighter bombed Padesh on Tuesday morning. As the plane approached, KLA fighters initially thought it was a NATO plane, didn't take cover and were bombed. The KLA and local police told Gonggrijp the Serb MiG was shot down by a NATO plane. There was no immediate comment from NATO headquarters in Brussels. DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.
