We haven't seen a flame or >>explosion, though. Nandor, who lives in a Northern part of the town, also >>wasn't able to spot the target of the bombing, even though he heard the >>planes and three detonations... Until the time when I write this (1 PM), >>the local radio said that they can't locate the place where the bombs >>fell?!... >> >>This morning I was standing in the long que in front of the local >>newsstand... People were waiting to buy the cigarets (five packs per >>customer). I don't smoke, but I wanted to buy it for Gordana and my >>parents... But the modest supply was sold out before my turn... There is a >>great shortage of cigares, and many people are really nervous, because, as >>you maybe know already, people in this part of the world smoke so much... >>Yesterday, early in the morning, NATO has bombed the city of Nis, with 15 >>projectiles, which created the horrible damages all over the very heart of >>the town...The starnge thing is that they bombed plants of the Tobacco >>Industry in Nis as well... The whole storage of 100 tons of tobacco was >>burnt down completely... >> >>If that is a military target, what on earth is NOT a military target? >> >>Today it's 6th of April, the date that marks the rather ironic anniversary >>- on that day in 1941, Belgrade was bombed by Nazi German Army... >>Everybody remembers this as the Armagedon-type of event, with many 1000's >>of dead civilians,and the institutions like National Library completely >>burnt down...Bombs have even fell on the Zoo which was (and still is) >>rather close to the center of the city, so that freed wild animals were >>running all over the place ( like shown in a movie titled "The >>Underground", by Kusturica). The similar unhappy unniversary will probably >>be marked on April 16-17th , when , this time in 1944 - during the >>Orthodox Easter , Belgrade (and many other towns in Serbia)- still under >>German occupation, were bombed by the Allies. The bombing was supposed to >>be targeted at German military facilities, but - due to a bad weather etc. >>- the bombers have missed most of their targets, and mostly killed >>civilian people and caused a large destruction of the town... It seems >>that this events at the time have caused people in Serbia feel as if they >>are being bombed by everybody, be it the Occupation Army or the Allies... >>Mind you that so many people who went through all that hell are still >>alive, and they are watching the similar thing happening in 1999... By the >>way, last night they bombed a small town of Aleksinac - one projectile hit >>the Army barracks, while two bombs fell on the civil houses, destroying >>the whole street near the ceneter of the town, and causing injuries and >>death of many civilian people (they still search for them under the >>ruins). That all looked pretty much like WW2 ...This was a rather awful >>night in Serbia anyway, with Refinery in Novi Sad bombed and set to flame, >>and with the only remaining bridge in town being a target of 2 Tomahawk >>missiles...Both of the missiles were destroyed by Serbian anti-aircraft >>forces,but, of course, everybody will fear that the next night NATO will >>try to hit the same spot again.... >> >>It should not be forgotten that on April 6th in 1992. the siege of >>Sarajevo has began, this time with Bosnian Serbs being in the role of >>bombers... And above all this, our friends from NATO will have to >>celebrate their 50th anniversary on April 24th (I think) this year... >> >>After 50 years, the problems are still being "solved" by dropping bombs. >> >>As you can see, the anniversary could be such a horrible thing... >> >>Sasa DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
