THE MASSACRE IS READY

The Serbs plant mines on the border with Albania and Macedonia The Serbs plant mines on the border with Albania and Macedonia The Serbs are preparing a great massacre against the Albanians. At least 200 thousand Kosovo Albanians are in danger and may be wiped out by Serbian violence. To achieve this goal, yesterday evening on the border with Macedonia near Kumanovo and near the village of Taskoc in Kumanovo, the Serbs placed a considerable number of anti-personnel mines. According to our reliable sources, starting from Sunday the Serbs blocked the road where the OSCE observers operate and also began clearing the terrain where their forces had been stationed days earlier. On Monday morning the Serbs positioned machine guns on their side, aiming them toward Macedonia. According to these same sources, it is reported that the Serbs have issued threats, saying they will burn alive all Kosovo Albanians who retreat toward the village of Malinë Kokojë in the narrow pass between morrison-kokorjënë with the border post with UJQO, the Serbs are provoking an incident so that the Albanians are forced to move to Macedonia and Albania. All maneuvers of the Yugoslav service in the Serbian camp are being watched from Albania, since the Yugoslavs in the Serbian camp are making themselves accomplices.
