Page 12 • Wednesday, April 28, 1999 EWS Serbs allow Red Cross to visit American POWs Celebrating spring BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — The Red Cross was allowed Tuesday to visit three American POWs last seen with bloodied faces on Serbian TV and took letters for their fami lies, while NATO jets pounded Serb forces in Kosovo in a round-the- clock operation. Diplomacy showed little sign of a breakthrough. In Moscow, U.S. Deputy Secre tary of State Strobe Talbott met Tues day with Russian officials to deter mine whether the Russians made progress in brokering a settlement to the five-week-old confrontation. But former premier Viktor Cher nomyrdin, Russia’s chief mediator on the Yugoslav crisis, said NATO must halt airstrikes to clear the way for talks, a condition rejected re peatedly by the alliance. Chernomyrdin said Belgrade would accept an “international pres ence” in Kosovo with Russia’s par ticipation but he acknowledged that such a group, which would be un armed or only lightly armed, fell far short of what NATO is demanding. Allied terms include the key de mand of international peacekeeping troops in Kosovo, an end to atroci ties against ethnic Albanian civil ians, autonomy for the majority Al banian province and the return of all refugees. International Committee of the Red Cross chief Cornelio Sommaru- ga said a team from his organiza tion, including a doctor, met pri vately in Belgrade with the U.S. soldiers, captured March 31 in dis puted circumstances along the Yu- goslav-Macedonian border. Sommaruga saw the three briefly on Monday. The visit TUesday was the first “official” contact as pro vided for under the Geneva con ventions for prisoners of war. The ICRC also conducted a sec ond visit with a Yugoslav officer captured by Kosovo Albanian rebels and held at a U.S. military base in Mannheim, Germany. Sommaruga refused to discuss the American men’s conditions — they were paraded before Serb TV with cuts and bruises on their faces after their capture — but said they were ex amined by a physician and allowed to hand over letters to their families. Christopher J. Stone, 25, of Smiths Creek, Mich.; Andrew Ramirez, 24, of Los Angeles; a Steven M. Gonzales, 21, Huntsville, Texas, were seize A. nd of d March 31, seven days after NATO launched its bombing campaign. Chris Bowers of the ICRC said the Red Cross was promised regular ac cess to the prisoners — seen as a pos sible sign Belgrade was seeking a way out of the crisis and the widespread destruction of bridges, factories, oil depots and other key infrastructure. In another possible overture, Yu goslav Deputy Premier Vuk Draskovic urged the government Monday to admit it cannot defeat NATO. Draskovic, a former opposi tion leader with a reputation for maverick stands, said he believed Yugoslav President Slobodan Milo sevic was prepared to accept a U.N. force in Kosovo. Girlfriend may have bought guns used in Littleton masi LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Ex actly a week after the first shots rang out at Columbine High School, a hush fell over the Denver area Tues day and church bells tolled 15 times — one for each victim and the two gunmen. Televisions and radios fell silent for one minute at 11:21 a.m. After the tolling, the bells rang out in joyous tones. Funerals for three more victims — Matthew Kechter and Kyle Ve lasquez, both 16, and Corey De- Pooter, 17 — were held. The Ve lasquez services drew 800 mourn ers, including Gov. Bill Owens. Investigators, meanwhile, ques tioned Dylan Klebold’s 18-year-old girlfriend, who is believed to have bought at least two of the weapons used by Klebold and Eric Harris. In vestigators want to know whether she knew how the guns were to be used. And in Washington, President Clinton announced proposals to tighten federal gun laws. “We don’t GUY MG® Cameron Ogden, son of Kyle Ogden who is a ground!
