"``We are enforcing peace in Kosovo and the mandate says all personnel
will be disarmed,'' Eiland said."
That's NOT what the mandate says, by expert reading -- but the KLA is
now the biggest threat to peace in Kosovo, and NATO permitting more
"atrocities" to occur in an "ethnic cleansing" of Serb civilians, with Serb
refugees in the tens of thousands, with the UN present as observers, would be
just TOO embarrassing for the US ...
U.S. Marines Disarm KLA Group
ZEGRA, Yugoslavia (AP) - U.S. Marines were forced to take weapons away from
about 200 Kosovo Liberation Army fighters on Wednesday in one of the Marines'
first peacekeeping activities in Kosovo.
Marines from Company K, Battalion Landing Team 38, negotiated with the group
in this village 30 miles southeast of the provincial capital of Pristina, but
the rebels were unwilling to give up their weaponry, said Capt. David Eiland.
The fighters relented under threat from armored personnel carriers and Cobra
attack helicopters. Six leaders of the KLA group were taken away in handcuffs
near the farming village of Zegra, said Eiland.
``In the end, we had to physically take their weapons away from them,'' he
said. ``They did not want to surrender their weapons. Their leaders would not
let them do it and we had to deploy Marines to take the weapons away from
them.''
No one was injured during the confrontation.
``We are enforcing peace in Kosovo and the mandate says all personnel will be
disarmed,'' Eiland said.
``We draw no lines. We treat everyone the same, regardless if it's KLA, if
it's Albanian, if it's Serbian, it does not matter to us,'' he said. ``We
will disarm the people who have weapons.''
