Kosovo Mass Grave Contains 800 Bodies, Possibly Serbs

BELGRAD, Jul 20, 2001 -- (dpa) Another mass grave has
been uncovered in southwest Kosovo, containing up to
900 corpses, the United Nations Mission in Kosovo
(UNMIK) said Thursday. 
Spokeswoman Monique Finnberg told Belgrade Radio B-92
that the bodies could be those of Serbians who were
among the 1,300 Kosovo Serbs reported missing since
the conflict with ethnic Albanians in 1999. 
The killings appeared to have happened after the
international peacekeeping troops KFOR interceded to
prevent further killing of ethnic Albanians by Serbian
troops. 
Exhumation of the bodies is likely to begin only in
the new year, Finnberg said.
