KOSOVO: 2 SERB WAR CRIMES SUSPECTS DETAINED

(23 Oct 1999) English/Nat Two Serb war crime suspects detained by NATO troops in the southwestern Kosovo town of Orahovac remain in custody in Prizren. The two men were arrested after ethnic Albanians identified them as possible war crime suspects for acts committed during the 18-month Serb crackdown that left 10-thousand people dead. Meanwhile, some five thousand mourners turned out in Orahovac for the reburial of more alleged victims of Serb atrocities in the area. On Saturday two Serb war crime suspects were remanded in custody in Prizren after being detained by K-FOR soldiers in the southwestern town of Orahovac on Friday afternoon. The two men were reportedly taken into custody as they were about to board a U-N convoy heading out of Kosovo. Dutch Major Roy Abels says the two prisoners were moved to Prizren following a request by the prosecutor there who was appointed by the United Nations mission running Kosovo's civilian affairs. SOUNDBITE: (English) "They were arrested yesterday here in the base after they were told that the request came from the U-N prosecutor in Prizren. The physical arrest was made here in the office. They were transported about a half an hour after the arrest, after the formalities, to the prison in Prizren."
