Anyway another fine example of Nato's criminal bombing... Wednesday, April 14, 1999 DISPATCH FROM KOSOVO Not-So-Smart Weapons Are Terrifying Civilians Airstrikes: Errant bombs and missiles are slamming into residential neighborhoods of provincial capital. By PAUL WATSON, Times Staff Writer PRISTINA, Yugoslavia--NATO bombers scored several direct hits here in Kosovo's capital Tuesday--including a graveyard, a bus station and a children's basketball court. The targets weren't mentioned when U.S. Gen. Wesley K. Cir's second-floor flat in Pristina's southern Dardanija district. The explosion blasted out practically every wiybe this should so hit a fuel depot on the southern edge of Pristina early Tuesday, destroying one large storage tank but apparently leaving at least two still intact. The same bombing run destroyed a plastics factory in the next lot, and about 30 graves in a cemetery adjacent to the fuel depot. It was the second time the graveyard has been bombed. On April 7, NATO blasted a huge crater at the other end of the cemetery, enraging Orthodox Serbs who saw remains of their loved ones scattered on the ground. Nada Turcinovic had come to the cemetery Tuesday morning to bury her son, Zoran Dragutinovic, but she had to sit and wait, weeping on a curb, until the roar of NATO jets finally passed around 10:35 a.m. "My son," she chanted softly to herself, dressed all in black. "My son. My heart. My soul. My Zoran." Times staff writer Paul Richter in Washington contributed to this report.
