more and more on Kosovo

[David Welch]

The British media has been reporting all day that large numbers of people
are arriving at the Albanian border claiming to have been forceably
evicted from Pristina and driven to the border in buses. Many newspapers
made rather stomach churning comparisons with the NAZIs (sealed trains and
so on) but the likely hood of a bloody battle in the capital seems more
credible, perhaps I missed it in earlier messages but do you have a source
for this report.
