Cohen points to Serbian weaknesses, U.S. readies for possible refugee arrival in WASHINGTON (AP) — Serb military and police forces in Kosovo, still on the offen sive two weeks into NATO’s air campaign to protect ethnic Albanians, are “open and vulnerable” to close-range attack by the U.S. Army’s deadliest helicopters. Defense Secretary William Cohen said Monday. ‘‘ We’re going after his tanks, his armored units, his artillery, those forces on the ground that are carrying out this horrific ethnic cleansing,” Cohen said in an Associ ated Press interview. “They are going to be targeted now and taken out.” Even as it worked out plans for expand ing U.S. military involvement in Kosovo, the administration was scrambling on the hu manitarian front. It flew more emergency re lief supplies to Albania and worked on plans for accommodating 20,000 Kosovar refugees, possibly on the Pacific island of Guam or at the Guantanamo Naval Station in Cuba. Cohen and other administration officials insisted that the decision to airlift refugees out of the Balkans was not meant to indi cate NATO had given up its goal of revers ing the forced exodus from Kosovo. “This is a temporary arrangement de signed to deal with an emergency problem; it’s not designed to have permanent reloca tion of these refugees,” said State Depart ment spokesman James P. Rubin. He said the idea was to “alleviate the bottleneck” of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Alba nia and Macedonia. Rubin said Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had received a report on the plight of the ethnic Albanians inside Kosovo from David Sheffer, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes. Based on interviews he con ducted with refugees, Sheffer concluded that Albanians are being driven from Koso vo not by NATO bombing but by a system atic expulsion by Serb military and police forces, Rubin said. Sheffer reported that Pristina, the Koso var capital, is being expunged neighbor hood by neighborhood with seemingly cal- said j dilated efficiencies.
