You have asked the wrong question, Iceberg. If killing isn't done by way of public execution, (and sometimes even then) you can afford to kill some of your own party. You have then a multiplicity of options to go on.
You can claim (alternatively, or cumulatively, depends on the current level of havoc)
- that person was killed by the other party.
Very helpful with demonizing 'them', which is your main goal, anyway.
- that person was not a foe himself, but he was a relative of one.
- that person was a traitor, a collaborator, or a relative of one, or he 'was about' to become one
- that person was fighting on your side, but had taken money from your
groups' fighting budget for his own purposes.
I think even with this basic, restricted choice of the political terrorists' instrumentarium you should be able to 'correctly' cleanse ethnically even if your rate of error is 50% ,,,
Anyway, you have a number of inklings in the Kosovo case, maybe stronger than in the Irish case: Serbs are unlikely to go to a mosque, many Albanians have different names, language is different. Although these signs may not be seen at first sight, neighbours will know.
