> A couple of Russian soldiers guarding the Pristina airport got rubbed out by KLA snipers... Do you think it could play havoc with NATO's plans? As long as Nato soldiers encounter KLA thugs and allow them to leave to consult with their commander whether to return to surrender their guns(????)...it is only a matter of time before thest thugs start some practice shooting on the Russians...IMHO

Gustave, The Russians in their haste to get a piece of the pie have made things unbelievably dangerous. The Russian contingent at Pristina airport blocked reinforcements to the British force there. I am waiting for the paratroopers to start dropping in, and gunfire breaks out. The KLA of course do not make things much easier. I havent read about the sniping at the airport yet, but Ive just started my day here. The KLA have, as I understand, seized a coal mine. They have also continued their offensive, as I understand they have accosted retreating Serbian columns. It may be a very hot peace in Kosovo. How many people have been killed already after opening fire on NATO troops? Blair may get his ground offensive yet...
