Rebels With a Crippled Cause (KLA), SA Earthquake

<< A ground war is already being fought in Kosovo. It is a guerrilla war, marked by hit-and-run ambushes against Yugoslav forces by a makeshift rebel army that must ration bullets. Villages are taken with bolt-action carbines but lost within hours to 82mm shells. Uniformed men with assault rifles fire at army tanks -- and then flee. New recruits arrive so raw that they can be used only for food detail.

Mixed in among it all are thousands of stranded, hungry refugees seeking protection from a rebel force that is unable to destroy a single artillery position let alone retake the villages from which the civilians have fled.

Nasty, limited and seemingly unwinnable, this is the Kosovo Liberation Army's war one month into NATO's air offensive against the Serb-controlled government of Yugoslavia. >>

Hi Searle,

That's a pretty good sized earthquake SA got ... Any damage to the gold mines?

Hope it didn't shake you up too bad.
