The people who run the zoo were trying to solve the >problem of large and dangerous animals running away from the zoo, in case >of the fortification being bombed.

It was a horrible event, with most >of the victims being children, hiding in a shelter. The bodies were torn to >pieces, and it was very hard to identify them. It was reported that two >more people commited suicide, after this event. >Recently, I spoke to a friend from a little town in Southern Serbia. He was >trying to do something for the local scene for years, and organized several >comics and panel cartoon exhibitions in the town. As the war began, he was >( together with other friends, Serbs as well) involved in helping the >family who escaped from Kosovo. The family that fled from Pristina >consists of an Iraqi man (a political immigrant who have already fled from >his homeland in the 80's, and studied and found a job in Kosovo), an >Albanian woman, and two of their children. They said that nobody has kicked >them out of their homes, but the situation was so dramatic, that everybody >was already terrified and afraid of the Serbian paramilitary groups which >were seen all over town, and the NATO bombings (one of the first targets >was a mail office in Pristina, which left everyone, Serbs and Albanians, >without the phone lines) , and the overal chaos that prevailed... Some of >their friends helped them to escape from Kosovo to the near-by town in >Southern Serbia, where my friend has let them stay in his house until they >were able to recover ... They decided to leave to Algeria, which is also a >country with lots of problems, but they had some friends and possibilities >for job out there... >According to the information that I heard on Radio Free Europe, the number >of the Serbs fleeing from Kosovo is, proportionaly, even bigger than the >number of Albanians. Everybody seems to running away from the place, except >for the men in uniforms, and that is so frightening... >OK, I'm trying to send this before another black-out... >Regards >Sasa DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
