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
