These lists were drawn up on the basis of a decision by the Central Committee of the Party of Labour of Albania concerning the operation of the State Security and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in wartime. There were two lists. List No. 1 included all those who had been convicted or were suspected of serving foreign intelligence agencies, primarily the American CIA, the Yugoslav UDB and the Greek Asfalia. List No. 2 included everyone who had collaborated during the Second World War, such as the Ballists, Zogists, etc. No one signed an order to kill the approximately 100,000 people on those lists; their isolation in the event of war had merely been planned, the former communist Bloc member told Koha Jonë.

DURRËS - A bloody wedding in Durrës. A police officer has seriously wounded two wedding guests, one of whom is the groom. The wedding nearly turned into a funeral. The incident took place on Thursday, in neighbourhood no. 7, in Durrës. The magical atmosphere of F.M’s wedding suddenly took a dramatic turn. Their neighbour, A. Lala, wanted to fix the electrical system in his house, which had been installed in the area occupied by the wedding guests, who at that moment were caught up in the whirl of the celebrations. This was precisely what caused the misfortune. Arguments immediately broke out, accompanied by insults, and ended in a brawl. But A. Lala was not content merely to argue. He called his brother G. Lala, a police officer at the Durrës police station, for help. The latter behaved very aggressively. He pulled out his pistol and fired several times, seriously wounding the neighbour’s head of household and the groom. Panic took over the wedding. Those present rushed out of the house in alarm. The two victims were immediately taken to hospital, where they underwent surgery. The wedding, overwhelmed by horror, broke up. The aggressor brothers were detained, while an investigation was launched. Z.D

TIRANË - In fact, death had been circling around him for several months, but it struck him only the day before yesterday. And it was a painless blow: he died drunk. The protagonist of the story was 40 years old and lived near the capital’s hospitals. Lately, he often went to a bar within the hospital grounds, where he drowned life’s stresses in a glass of alcohol. And perhaps he did not know that his absence of [unclear in source]—he had started drinking early that day too—would be his last. He had been coming to the bar for less than a week when, quite suddenly, he collapsed over the table. He was completely drunk when he died. His body was removed from the bar and taken to hospital for an autopsy. But this is not the only such case. A week earlier, another chronic drunkard from the “Ali Demi” neighbourhood was found dead on the spot after he had “slept” completely exposed.
