Clinton OK's CIA's sabotage plan over Kosovo: Newsweek

.c Kyodo News Service

NEW YORK, May 24 (Kyodo) -- U.S. President Bill Clinton last week issued an
intelligence ''finding'' authorizing the CIA to begin secret efforts to
undermine public support for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, according
to the latest issue of Newsweek.

The finding would permit the CIA will train Kosovar rebels in sabotage such
as cutting telephone lines, blowing up buildings, fouling gasoline reserves
and pilfering food supplies, according to the May 31 edition of the U.S.
magazine, which quotes senior intelligence officials and sources who have
read the finding.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has also been instructed to conduct a
cyberwar against Milosevic using government hackers to tap into foreign banks
and, according to one U.S. official, ''diddle with Molosevic's bank
accounts,'' Newsweek reported.

Intelligence sources believe they have identified banks in several countries,
including Russia, Greece and Cyprus, where the Serb leader has hidden
millions of dollars, the magazine said.

However, the sabotage plan also entails serious problems, such as how the CIA
will find and train guerrillas without aiding the Kosovo Liberation Army,
which the administration itself labeled a terrorist organization a year ago,
it said.

Intelligence officials also worry it will be difficult to control the
U.S.-trained rebels once boot camp is over and they are set loose on
Milosevic, Newsweek said.

''At this point, it is not at all certain that the finding will ultimately be
carried out. If the grumblings from the Hill and the intelligence community
grow too loud, or if the risk-averse CIA chooses to drag its feet, the
president may opt to quietly kill the finding -- and pretend it never
existed,'' it said.
