OT:
Thank you Mrs Albright!
NATO BOMBED ALBRIGHT'S PLACE OF REFUGE
The Russian news agency Itar-Tass reports that an unexploded NATO bomb in
a Serbian village now sports a graffiti message written by local
residents: "Thank you, Mrs. Albright, for the gift sent to us in
exchange for our hospitality."
The story behind the message is summed up in a 60-year-old photo,
published in the Cyprus Mail at the end of last week, showing a little
girl hugging a little boy. The boy in the picture, now Mr. Lutko Popich,
explained that the girl is now Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State of
the United States of America. He told a Cyprus Mail reporter, Louisus
Antonio, that in 1939, Madeleine Albright's family escaped from the Nazis
in Czechoslovakia and found refuge in his father's home in the Serbian
village of Varnatchka Bana. This same village, 60 years later, was
bombed last week by NATO forces, led by the United States, and the same
villagers who hosted little Madeleine and her family were forced to flee.
Antonio reported that he recently visited various areas in Yugoslavia
that were bombed by NATO, together with a group called "Doctors for
Peace." He wrote that he found much evidence, including photos, of Ms.
Albright's presence in the above-mentioned village of Varnatchka Bana
during the specified period. Popich - the "boy" in the picture - said
that he wrote a letter to Secretary Albright, asking her to stop the
bombing on his birthplace that had served as her refuge. He said that he
had not received a response. Varnatchka Bana, famous for its hot
springs, is located 80 kilometers from the city of Kraljevo. |
