Peacekeepers?


Kosovo / peacemakers / armed and dangerous
This would be stuff that comedy is made of, if it didn't result in tragedy. US and Jordanian peacekeepers in Kosovo shoot each other over Iraq! The UN denies this but Balkanalysis doesn't believe them.
Meanwhile in other Kosovo-related news, "the World Court has begun hearings to decide if it has jurisdiction in a case against Nato for the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo crisis.
Serbia and Montenegro, Yugoslavia's successor state, accuse eight Nato countries of genocide and violating international law on the use of force.
The Nato members, including the UK, France and Germany, say the court is not competent to hear the case."
