<<all civilians - dead.>>OK, so we are not just bombing empty buildings is Belgrade, my mistake. The residents of Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, lived through the worst night of Nato bombing Monday. Antenna's Nicholas Vafiades reports that Nato struck civilian targets - and there were civilian casualties. It was the worst night yet in Pristina. The authorities reported at least ten people - all civilians - dead. Vafiades reports that after a first wave of bombing, Nato bombs and planes started coming closer and closer to the centre of the city. Explosion followed upon explosion between 1:30 and 2:00 am, lighting up the city, and bringing death. At 2:30, Vafiades and his cameraman beheld the flames engulfing the city hall. But the real tragedy was revealed at dawn. The carnage was everywhere in the centre of Pristina: bombed out buildings, rocks and bricks everywhere; the post office and communications building still smouldering after the attack. And behind the post office building, the remains of a working class neighborhood. Corpses were strewn among the rubble of what was once homes and shops. One man told Vafiades that a Turkish family of five was buried under the rubble of their home. For the residents of Pristina, every night brings new terror. And there is nothing to stop Nato - Monday night's Nato flyovers were so low that one could only conclude that the Yugoslav air defences are nowhere near capable of making a difference.
