Concentration camps found -- Newspaper
LONDON: NATO troops have found 60,000 ethnic Albanian refugees held by Serb forces in five ransacked northern Kosovo villages that were turned into concentration camps, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The refugees told Telegraph journalists they had been taken prisoner by Yugoslav forces, to be used as a human shield in the event of a ground war with NATO. The families had been rounded up from mountain hideouts in mid-April and driven to five burnt-out villages. ``The village prison camps were surrounded by Serbian tanks and soldiers. Anyone who tried to leave was shot on sight,'' the refugees said.Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
