Nineteen people killed during NATO raid on Kosovo prison
At least nineteen people were killed during a series of NATO air raids on Dubrava prison in the Kosovo town of Istok, which continued late into Friday evening.

Belgrade rejects as false the NATO assertion that the Thursday air raid on the Dragic Misovic Clinical Centre, one of the biggest in the Yugoslavian capital, was also launched "by mistake". It was established that two, not one, missiles exploded on the territory of the complex, and the third one destroying a nearby gasoline filling station. Three patients and a jan ... Read more
