AMERICAN COMMANDOS ON THE ATTACK

They will accompany Apache helicopters against the Serbs in Kosovo WASHINGTON - Whether they are special NATO commandos or whether American Apache helicopters are sent in the first attacks against the Serbs in Kosovo, according to NATO Secretary General Solana, the Apache helicopters should be sent to Albania and enter combat within three weeks. Appeals from the U.S. administration to intensify the attacks, according to reports, show growing nervousness over the difficult wait by Western governments, who hope their air efforts will force the forces of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to withdraw from Kosovo. Holbrooke arrived amid growing impatience. “Things are entering a dark phase; what we are realizing now is that the Serb forces entered six weeks ago and are operating much more methodically,” said the American chief of peace implementation in Bosnia, Robert Gelbard. It is thought that the time for ground war will come. A U.S. administration official says that “if northern Kosovo suffers from a breakdown and the cold worsens and 200,000 refugees are settled as the latest arrivals, then they are in even greater danger.” Kukës is closer to a catastrophe if the collapse that health workers and other organizations are not sleeping through happens.
