Remember why NATO spent 78-days bombing Yugoslavia in the spring of
1999?There was the ethnic cleansing. The atrocities. The refugees chased out
of Kosovo by the Serb army. The mass graves. The heaps of bodies tossed into
vats of sulphuric acid at the Trepca mines.NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said
there were 100,000 Kosovo Albanian Muslims unaccounted for.Problem is, none
of it happened.NATO's original estimate of 100,000 ethnic Albanians
slaughtered, later revised downward to 10,000, turns out to be considerably
exaggerated.Dr. Peter Markesteyn, a Winnipeg forensic pathologist, was among
the first war crimes investigators to arrive in Kosovo after NATO ended its
bombing campaign."We were told there were 100,000 bodies everywhere," said
Dr. Markesteyn. "We performed 1,800 autopsies -- that's it."Fewer than 2,000
corpses. None found in the Trepca mines. No remains in the vats of sulphuric
acid. Most found in isolated graves -- not in the mass graves NATO warned
about. And no clue as to whether the bodies were those of KLA terrorists,
civilians, even whether they were Serbs or ethnic Albanians.No wonder then
that of all the incidents on which Slobodan Milosevic has been indicted for
war crimes, the total body count is not 100,000, not 10,000, not even 1,800
-- but 391!
It was William Walker, at the time head of the Kosovo Verification Mission
(KVM) who, on the morning of January 16, 1999, led the press to the Kosovo
village of Racak, a KLA stronghold. There some 20 bodies were found in a
shallow trench, and 20 more were found scattered throughout the village. The
KLA terrorists, and Walker, alleged that masked Serb policemen had entered
the village the previous day, and killed men, women and children at close
range, after torturing and mutilating them. Chillingly, the Serb police were
said to have whistled merrily as they went about their work of slaughtering
the villagers.Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, as eager to
scratch her ever itchy trigger finger as her boss was to scratch his
illimitable sexual itches, demanded that Yugoslavia be bombed immediately.
Albright, like a kid agonizingly counting down the hours to Christmas, would
have to wait until after Milosevic's rejection of NATO's ultimata at
Rambouillet to get her wish.But not everyone was so sure that William
Walker's story was to be believed.
The French newspaper La Monde had some trouble swallowing the story. It
reported on Jan. 21, 1999, a few days after the incident, that an Associated
Press TV crew had filmed a gun battle at Racak between Serb police and KLA
terrorists. Indeed, the crew was present because the Serbs had tipped them
off that they were going to enter the village to arrest a man accused of
shooting a police officer. Also present were two teams of KVM monitors.It
seems unlikely that if you're about to carry out a massacre that you would
invite the press -- and international observers -- to watch.And now there's
a report that the Finnish forensic pathologists who investigated the
incident on behalf of the European Union, say there was no evidence of a
massacre. In an article to be published in Forensic Science International at
the end of February, the Finnish team writes that none of the bodies were
mutilated, there was no evidence of torture, and only one was shot at close
range.The pathologists say Walker was quick to come to the conclusion that
there was a massacre, even though the evidence was weak.And they point out
that there is no evidence that the deceased were from Racak.The KLA
terrorists, the Serbs charge, faked the massacre by laying out their fallen
comrades in the trench they, themselves, prepared, and the United States
used the staged massacre as a pretext for the bombing.
