<<The speculation is that the Chinese were in some way aiding the Serbs eg. beaming TV signals - or something of the sort. The target was isolated so an error can be ruled out - it was hit by three missiles - so it was either deliberate of through a faulty map or data base - but with all of the alleged sophistication of NATO this seems difficult to swallow.>>

I agree the faulty map explanation is difficult to swallow, I sure hope the CIA is better informed than that. However, it still remains a question of why the US would deliberately bomb an embassy, collusion with the Serbs or no. Another question, what is the legal status of an embassy that is aiding and abbetting a combatant in a war zone? Is diplomatic immunity a blank check for aiding a combatant? Certainly the US would have been better served by using such information to embarrass the Chinese politically...
