A Ball Of Confusion

"A BALL OF CONFUSION"

Witness Seven: AJMANE BEHRAMI

Her testimony begins on page 1044 . Slobo starts on 1091
http://www.un.org/icty/transe54/020226IT.htm

Watson: I see that the seventh witness for the prosecution got rave reviews in the MSM."Ajmoni Behrami, testified that in March 1999, Serbian forces came into her village, Izbica, and forced its women and children to march for six days" chorused the world's media in unison. Sounds like it's Slobo's requiem.........( frowns glaringly at the evil eyed Butcher of the Balkans ).........Grrrrrrrrr!

Holmes: Well, for starters, the ICTY misspell her name . They refer to her as "Ms Behramaj" in the witness list and "Ms Behrami" elsewhere. A quarter of a billion buckeroos a year and they screw up the easiest of things.

Watson: Speaks volumes

Holmes: It does indeed. Anyway, this is quite a tragic case, as she lost a baby during NATO's bombing. Having said that, her testimony was less than damaging for Slobo. In fact it was another grade-A F-up for the prosecution .

Watson: Some background per chance?

Holmes: She's a muslim , her husband died in 1999, and she has four children and she's from Izbica, a village in the Srbica municipality. In March she said the Serb forces shelled the village, seperated the men from the women and children, demanded money and ordered the women and children to leave the village. She said the Serb forces burned villages, shot about 100 people. She said the Serbs told the women to go to Albania, however the column headed in a different direction. The Serb forces shelled the column so forcing the column to to go to Albania. She said the Serb forces executed two Kosovo Albanian men. She said she arrived in Albania after 6 days walking. She said that when she returned the Serbs had massacred many men.

Watson: Pretty damning stuff?

Holmes: Erm, not really.

Watson: Why?

Holmes: Her testimony is the usual stuff. She contradicts herself on numerous points, and fakes ( ? ) complete ignorance on many issues. For example, her husband was a member of the KLA. Or maybe he wasn't. Or maybe he was. ( 1047 )

(

Question: Was your husband at any point a member of the KLA?

Witness: Yes.

Question: And was he a member when he died?

Witness: He was civilian. No. He was civilian.

Question: I understand you say he was a civilian, but you said he was a member of the KLA. He was in the mountains, and he died; is that correct? At the time he died, was he a member of the KLA?

Witness: No, no. No. He just had taken to the mountains to take shelter.

Question: You've told us at some point your husband was a member of the KLA. When was that?

Witness: Before; in the past.

Question: Do you remember when that was?

Witness: No, I don't remember.

Question: Do you remember any particular incident that occurred that may have prompted him to join the KLA?

Witness: No, I don't know.

)

And later ( 1102 )

(

Question: Was your husband a member of the KLA from the very beginning, and participated in the operations always, and stayed in camps together with other KLA members? This is what you stated when you gave your statement to the OTP investigators.

Witness: I don't know. I don't know. For as long as we were there, he wasn't a member of the KLA.

)

And again ( page 1093 )

(

Question: You said that you did not hear of any operations and activities by the KLA in your area, and your area is Drenica; is that right?

Witness: Yes.

)

Watson: Well, that's all nice and clear then. He was a member of the KLA but then again the wasn't. But he was a member. But wasn't

Holmes: Yes, it's all crystal clear. And about the KLA in the area

(

( 1089 )

Question: Do you know if any of the other men who were left behind died as a result of whatever went on after you left?

Witness:Yes.

Question: Were some of them members of the KLA?

Witness: No, they were not.

)

And

(

( 1087 )

Question: Now, you've also told us that the KLA were in the area of your village but were not in your village itself; is that correct?

Witness: Yes. Yes.

Question: Did your husband tell you why he was going into the hills?

Witness: No, he never told me anything. He just told me that "I'm going to the mountains."

Question: Were you aware that the KLA also were in the mountains?

Witness: I don't know. Maybe they were in the mountains, but I was at home. I never saw anything.

)

And

(

( 1012 )

Quesiton:Is it true that this lasted for several years until the KLA presence in your area forced the Serb police to leave you alone?

Witness: As far as I know, we didn't have any bases there in Izbica, not in our village, not in Izbica.

Question: This is what you said when you were interviewed on the 14th of May, 1999. This is what I saw in your statement. This is how you explained it on that occasion.

Witness: I can't understand.

)

Watson: Well, I'm glad that's sorted everything out.

Holmes: She claimed that the Serbs ordered her to leave the village and head straight for Albania. Or maybe they didn't. Or maybe they did. Or didn't

(

Witness: The Serb police and army soldiers, they were mixed together. I remember one of them talking to us in Albanian. "Go straight to Albania." And then they asked the men to sit on the side of the street, whereas us they ordered to leave for Albania.

)

And

(

( 1072 )

Witness : The Serbs wanted us to go towards Albania. But they didn't allow us to go in the direction we wanted to go to and then started shelling......... They turned us back, and they turned us towards the other direction, the direction of Albania.

)

Yet, at the drop of a hat, our witness does a nice little 180 degree turn.

(

( page 1078 )

Question:They ( the Serb forces ) allowed you to go in the direction you wanted to go at that point; is that right?


Witness: Yes.

)

And

(

( 1078 )

Question: But you also told us that you were being escorted by Serb soldiers and policemen. Did they also want you to go to Kraljane? Sorry, I need an answer.

Witness:No. They just put us on the road, and when we went to Kraljane, they didn't do anything.

)

And

(

( 1086 )

Witness: Some were on foot, some were in trucks, but those who were on foot told us, "If you do not arrive in Albania at 6.00 in the afternoon, we will turn you back from where you came."

)

Watson: So the Serbs made her head for Albania , but they didn't . But they did however they didn't .

Holmes: Yes, it's all wonderfully succinct stuff. And remember that the ICTY spend many days grooming each witness. Going over their testimony before they appear in court.

Watson: Why am I hearing the melody to "A Foggy Day"?........ starts whistling

Holmes: Now, about half an hour after he convoy had left the village it was shelled , and she said the Serb forces carried it out.

Watson:Pretty powerful testimony, right?

Holmes: Well, not really. She said that about 3,000 women gathered in a field near her village ( 1054 ), people from the surrounding area, they formed a column and headed out of the area.

(

Witness: All the way we were accompanied by soldiers and policemen, accompanied I can't remember by whom exactly. When we went to Kopiliq, a village there, we were in a line. My sister was holding my son of 6 weeks old. And then they shelled the column and they killed two daughters of my uncle, and that's what happened.

Question: All right. So as you're marching along towards Albania, you were being escorted by police and/or infantry troops; is that your evidence?

Witness: Yes. Yes.

)

Watson: Sounds gut-wrenching stuff....... breaks down, distraught at what Slobo and his eager Serb minions have done .........

Holmes: Picture the scene, the columns headed out "escorted by police and/or infantry troops" and then the Serb artillery start to blast away ( 1071 ) " The Serbs, the army, the police did the shelling "

Watson: Aaaaaah ! She's saying that the Serbs shelled their own men in the column. The farthing's dropped.

Holmes: Congratulations are in order. Give the good doc a big cuddly teddy bear. You've spotted the flaw. Yep, the shells are landing in a group of people being escorted by "Serb police and infantry".
Is she really claiming that the Serbs were targeting their own soldiers ?

Watson: So it's pretty far-fetched to say the least. Even if it was the Serbs who were shelling the collumn it was obviously a mistake

Holmes: Well said, and it was obviously the KLA - who were dug in in the mountains - and what gives this even more credence is that fact that we're talking about mortars, not artillery or tank fire .

(

Witness: The shelling came from above. There were some lights, some red lights, and when they fell on us, we were dispersed.

)

Watson: Could you explain?

Holmes: Tank fire doesn't come from above, it's trajectory is low and stright. Mortars come from above. A very high trajectory. As Slobo pointed out

(

( 1094 )

Slobo: You said that the shells fell from a height, so they were probably mortars, as the shells were falling from a height. Now, do you assume that the column, escorted by the army and police, could have been shelled just by the KLA and not that police and army escorting the column. The tanks neutralised the KLA, who was shelling the column. They weren't shooting at you. These shells from tanks do not fall from a height. Do you think it reasonable that the army and police should shell a column which was being escorted precisely by the army and the police?

)

Holmes: And in her earlier written testimony she'd admitted that the Serbs were firing into the mountains - obviously targeting the KLA mortars -

(

( Page 1104 )

Slobo:You also spoke about the shells that were falling, but previously you stated that most of the shells fell in the hills area, and it seemed that they were shelling the hills in order to suppress the KLA activity.

)

Watson: So she's changed her testimony too. Just like so many witnesses. Her earlier written statements - like other witnesses - matched very closely with what Slobo was claiming, yet a couple of years later, they start to parrot the same "Serb = Evil" line the ICTY, NATO and MSM were touting.

Holmes: Good point. Back at the ranch, she was on the road for 6 days and was allowed to go in any direction she - and the others - wished. They were fed by the Serbs ( 1085 )

(

Question:Who supplied that food?

Witness: The Serb police.

)

Holmes: Now get ready for it's that time folks

Watson: You mean our friend the "bloke in the bar" ?

Holmes: Nope, it's time to bring on Mr Amnesia. He's always there when talk turns to the murderous activities of the KLA. The bit where Slobo asks the witness about mass murders, killings, bombings, etc carried out by the KLA, very often against loyalist Kosovo Albanians, on the witness's door step and the complete inability of the witness to answer

(

( 1098 )

Slobo: Do you remember the incident in 1998 when three Albanians were killed in Srbica by the KLA, Zaim Turivuci [phoen]; Sefer Zinavi [phoen] and Shefqet the forestkeeper; and Blagoje Jovanovic, a Serb? Do you remember this incident?

Witness has no idea

Slobo: Nobody ever told you anything about it?

Witness has no idea

Slobo: Do you remember when, on the 5th of March in 1998 in Prekaz, which is nearby, a police station was attacked and two policemen were killed,whereas eight were seriously wounded? Do you remember that incident?

Witness has no idea .

Slobo: Do you remember the murder of an Albanian called Gashi Mark on the 17th of July, 1998, on the road near Srbica?

Witness has no idea

Slobo: Do you remember how on the 20th of February, 1998, also between Srbica and Kline, Hakaj Murat was killed as well. He's an Albanian. Haveyou heard of that murder?

Witness has no idea

Slobo:Have you heard that a woman called Habije Rameraj was killed in the village of Rudnik, also nearby?

Witness has no idea and claims to be "not educated"

Judge askes Slobo to ask no more questions along these lines

)

About the so called mass graves there. Well, she didn't see anyone being killed, and

(

( page 1092 )

Slobo:There was a public television report on the alleged mass graves which were shown by satellite in the region of the village of Izbica, and it was ascertained with identical photographs that that was not true, that there were fields there. And they talked to Albanian witnesses who said that nobody was killed there or is buried there. Now, did you see that report on television or did you hear about it?

Witness: No, I didn't hear or see any such thing.

)

Watson: 'Nuff said

Holmes:Now it's probably come to your attention that our intrepid witness is a mite confused about many things

Watson: It has crossed my mind. About her hubbie's membership of the KLA or of who ordered her to go to Albania.

Holmes: Well, she'd said she saw two Kosovo Albanians being slain. But then she starts to contradict herself from her previous written statement. The sort of problem that liars have. Let's face it, her behaviour is so similar to so many liars. They change their story, then change it again.

(

Question: You previously also stated, and you also mentioned this during your chief examination, that you saw when a burst of fire was opened on Haxhi Thaci and Rexhep Thaci. You said that you witnessed this burst of fire; is that right?

Witness: Yes.

Question: You saw that the soldiers did the shooting; is that right?

Witness: They were mixed soldiers and policemen, and I wasn't able to distinguish them. There was just a volley of automatic rifle fire, and they fell to the ground. And we were just women, and we went on, out of fear. I don't know whether it was police or soldiers who fired.

Question: But when you were giving your statement on the 14th of May, 1999, you told the investigator that a member of the paramilitary forces took out his pistol and then fired a shot into the chest of each of them; is that right?

Witness: No. I said automatic, two at once, and I saw it with my own eyes.

Question: Did they read back your statement to you on the 14th of May, 1999? Did they read back to you what they recorded as your statement?

Witness: Yes.

Question:And on that occasion, you did not object to what you heard. You did not object upon hearing that this incident was described just as I read it to you, and you gave this statement on the 14th of May, 1999, which means just a few months after this incident took place.

Witness: What do you mean, 14th of May? I don't understand.

Question: So on the 14th of May, you gave a statement about what you experienced in 1999 while you were in Albania. So you gave this statement, and in that statement you described this event the way I just told you. And when your statement was read back to you, you did not object to this incident being described along these lines. Is that right?

Witness: Well, I didn't understand.

)

Watson: So she doesn't understand how her own recollection changes just as easily as the weather on key points. You're not the only one ducky

Holmes: She also talks about the loyalist Kosovo Albanians and this is something you just don't hear about. In the MSM and NATO press conferecnes they made a heroic point of not mentioning it

Watson: Who were these mysterious chaps and chapettes? Pray tell, oh wise violin player

Holmes: Well, for starters the vast majority of senior positions in politics, local government and industry were occupied by Kosovo Albanians - as witness number one was forced to acknowledge - and they tended to be catholics too. T
hese were ethnic Albanians who were loyal to Belgrade and were targetted mercilessly by the KLA .

Watson: So the KLA didn't have them on their Christmas card list then.

Holmes: They and their families were brutally slain for the crime of getting a pay cheque from Belgrade. Now, catholic Kosovo Albanian villages were regarded as "loyal Villages" by the Serb forces, who never had any problems from them. Here, the witness touches upon this

(

( 1080 )

Question: Why didn't want the people from your village to mix with the people from Drenica? Is that what you understood them to be saying?

Witness: No, because the people in Glodjane are also Albanians, but they are Catholics. So they were told to go and stay in their own homes. Question: So what happened to the Catholics? Did they go -- continue on with you or did they go somewhere else?

Witness:No, no. They stayed where they were, and they told us to go on the road again and they forced us to go back to Kraljane. And when wewere at Kraljane, it was burned, and then they told us to go to Klina e Begut.

Question: But the Catholics had been told to stay home? Is that what you told us?

Witness: Yes.

)

And

(

Slobo: You said that in Glodjane, the Albanians who lived there were told to stay there, and you said that there were no military operations there and that those Albanians there were Catholics. Therefore, I would like to ask you, since you yourself gave us these elements, do you think that they were told to remain there because there were no military operations there or they were told so because they were Catholics?

)

Watson: Interesting stuff

Holmes: Some more "What are you on little Missy?" testimony from the slightly confused and disoriented lady

(

( 1048 )

Question: Do you remember an incident involving NATO and Srbica?

Witness: I heard people say that there was an attack mounted on the munitions factory there.

Question: I see. And I'd like you to turn your mind now to two days after that attack. What, if anything, happened to your village two days after you heard about the attack on Srbica by NATO?

Witness: On the 28th of March, for two days, they bombed the village, the surrounding villages: Broje, Vojniku, Pilic [phoen], Liqina. They are surrounding villages. They were shelled for two days. Then, after two days, they came to Izbica.

Question: All right. I'm going to stop you there. The transcript seems to suggest that you said: "On the 28th of March, for two days, they bombed the village." Who are you talking about bombing the village? Are you talking about NATO or someone else?

Witness: No, not NATO. Serb policemen and army. Not NATO.

Question: So when you say "bombed" in that respect, do you actually mean bombing or do you mean shelling or do you mean something entirely different? Explain that.

Witness: I mean shelling, not actual bombing, but shelling. I mean shelling.

)

Watson: What about her testimony of having witnessed the brutal murder of over 100 brutally murdered Kosovo Albanians ?

Holmes: Well, for that, we have to give a stout "Hurrah" to ye olde friende. Yes folks , here's back

Watson: You mean "the bloke in the bar" ?

Holmes: I do indeed

(

( 1050 )

Witness: We stayed there for two or three hours. I don't remember well. We heard the fire shots, and then we heard that they had shot 108 people. I didn't see that with my own eyes, but I heard from others.

)

Watson: He's back. Aaaaaaah. Bless

Holmes: Some more

(

( 1057 )

Witness: A few women wanted to go back to the village to sees what was happening. We saw the entire village was on fire. We heard the fire shots, killing people. But they wanted to see with their own eyes what happened. They turned back, but couldn't walk for more than ten metres before the police turned them back, firing in the air, and told them to go back to Albania.

Question: Did they tell you anything that they saw?

Witness: No. They didn't see anything, because the police didn't let them go back, enter the village.

)

Holmes: And some more

(

Question: Did they tell you anything that they saw?

Witness: No. They didn't see anything, because the police didn't let them go back, enter the village.

)

And some more

(

( 1089 )

Question: Do you know if any of the other men who were left behind died as a result of whatever went on after you left?

Witness: Yes.

)

And, lordy lordy, some more

(

( 1090 )

Question: Upon your return, did you find out what happened to the 150 or 160 men who were left behind in the field when you were separated from them?

Witness: When I returned, I saw my uncle there, and he showed me what had happened. They had buried them. On 10th of May, my husband was killed, and they had buried him there. After three days, they had exhumed them and taken them away from that place.

Question: Do you know how many men had been killed?

Witness: In the Izbica outskirts, 202 men. As far as I remember, 165 were buried there.

)

And, strewth, it can't be, some more

(

( 1090 )

Question: Final question: The -- you told us about two old women who were left on a trailer who were alive when you left, when the trailer was set on fire. Upon your return, did you find out what happened to them?


Witness: Yes. They were burned in the trailer with all their belongings. They couldn't move, so they were burned in the tractor

)

And now for some "it must be the fault of the Serbs because it must be, So there" evidence

(

( 1057 )

Question: In your earlier evidence, you said that you could tell -- let me just -- that the entire village was on fire. Could you see that for yourself?

Witness: Yes. Yes. I saw it with my own eyes, all engulfed by fire, flames. Everything was set fire to; the tractors, everything we had.

Question: Talking about tractors being on fire, do you remember an incident involving two old handicapped ladies?

Witness: Yes. They burned them in the tractor. One is the wife of Feiz Hoxha, the other of Hazier. We left them there. They couldn't walk. They were left in the tractor and they were burned there.

Question: They were alive on the tractor-trailer when you left?

Witness: Yes, they were alive.

)

Watson: I don't see the point.

Holmes: She's assuming that the Serbs burned down the village. Of course she doesn't, for a second, think that the KLA wouldn't do such a thing or it simply couldn't have been a blaze as a result of a firefight between the KLA and the Serbs. Of course not, the inference here is that the Serbs deliberately torched the village

Watson: Aaaaaaaaaah! The florin has dropped. Same thing with the two handicapped women

Holmes: Indeed. And now a chuckle

(

( 1051 )

Question: All right. Now, you call them "infantry troops." Can you tell us how many infantry troops came into your village, approximately?

Witness: Approximately -- many. I can't say how many exactly. I couldn't say how many they were coming.

)

Watson: Approximately many? Snigger squared

Holmes: And it seems the prosecution are getting tired of the wretchedness of the testimony from our confused lassy

(

Question: And you also said there were other military vehicles as well; is that correct? Nodding your head won't assist. We need an answer. Thank you.

)

Watson: Snigger cubed. Even the prosecution - who'd have been over this nonsense a billion times before she gave her testimony in the rehearsal and grooming sessions - are a mite irritated

Holmes: Yes. Snigger to the fourth

Watson: Poor prosecution, having to mold a case with such doggy doo. Anyway how did her baby die? Did she the evil Serb forces grind the baby up and put into their burgers?

Holmes: Erm, no.

Watson: Or maybe they squashed the baby in a food blender to make some puree?

Holmes: Non, mon chef.

(

( 1070 )

Question: So to summarise: You, your sister, and your three sons took different routes; is that correct? You got separated?

Witness: Yes.

Question: Now, I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but after that incident, did you ever see your baby again?

Witness: My baby, no, no. It died. It didn't have what to live on. There was nothing to feed him.

Question: And you got that information from your sister later on, did you?

Witness: Yes. After the war, my sister told me that the baby died because I couldn't feed her with anything, and nobody could breast-feed her, and so the baby died.

)

Watson: Well how is that a crime?

Holmes: It ain't, it's just a tragedy of war.
She hams the "crazed state of mind" act a bit by claiming the Serbs chased the refugees halfway across Kosovo in their tanks, trying to run them over. Fortunately the refugees outran the tanks.

(

( 1075 )

Question: I see. Now, you've told us about being told to go towards Kline. Did you in fact get to Kline with this convoy? Did you walk towards Kline?

Witness: No. It was in the direction of Kline, and then they went from Broje to Jashanice, and then at Jashanice they were -- wanted to run us down with tanks.

)

Watson: Snigger to the fifth. The Serbs must have mighty slow tanks for a women and two young kids to outrun them.

Holmes: Pretty poor drivers too, for they managed to squish zero refugees- "squish" is a technical word which is used in the science of tank manouvres and it means "to squish"

Mulder: I fear the confused state of our witness's mind is a tad paranoid here. The fact that the prosecution doesn't run with it speaks volumes - "running with it" is a legalistic phrase which means "to run with" - Some more confusion

(

( 1098 )

Question: You said that when you got close to Kline, that there was fire there and shooting and that they told you to go back and not to enter Kline. Do you remember what date that was on?

Witness: No, I don't remember dates.

)

Watson: Indeed you don't little Missy

Holmes: And the final nail gets hammered in. She gets hopelessly confused about what happened at the border. Story number one is

(

( 1086 )

Question: And could you tell what happened at any stage in relation to those identity documents?

Witness: When we arrived in Gjakova, on our way to Gjakova, I saw some big -- a place where they -- they put us in a place, in a checkpoint, I think, where they checked for our documents, and they asked us to hand over all our documents, and then when you arrive at the border of Albania, you will see what will happen. So all the refugees that were in the line, you know, threw away -- threw on the ground all the IDs and passports they had on them.

)

Holmes: However story number two is ever so slightly different.

Watson: Just a tad mind?

Holmes: Yes, just a tad.

(

( 1106 )

Question: Very well. Just one more question. When you arrived at the border, you did not have to wait. You crossed it right away. And then you said that nobody asked for your documents at all.

Witness: Yes.

)

Holmes: Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Slobo's phone still doesn't work.

Watson: But that was all he had to communicate with his helpers. That's not particularly fair, is it?

Holmes: But don't you dare suggest that he's not getting a fair trial

(

Slobo:And another technical point, all the telephones of my associates that I tried to call up here -- from here yesterday have been disconnected, so that I found it very hard to communicate. I myself am not able to come by concrete information in any other way but through the telephone. So I should like to inform you that if I'm not able to make contact and come into contact with my associates when you are examining the witnesses here, then I shall ask for the cross-examination to be postponed until I am in such a position as to be able to communicate with my associates.

)

Watson: A quarter of a billion bucks a year plus all the political support you could dream of VS an OAP with a bust telephone.

Holmes: Hmmmmmmmm. And the irony is he's slaughtering the opposition.

Watson:So are you telling me that

  1. She claimed the Serbs told her to leave Kosovo , but they didn't tell her . But they did but they didn't
  2. Her husband was a member of the KLA . But he wasn't a member of the KLA . But he was but he wasn't
  3. She said the border police confiscated her ID card but they didn't confiscate it but they did . But they didn't but they did
  4. She claimed in court that the Serb security forces targeted her convoy of civilians . However if that had've been the case then the Serbs would have been targeting their own men as she admitted that her convoy was being escorted by Serb soldiers. Also in her earlier written statement she admitted that the Serb tanks were firing into the mountains - at KLA positions.
  5. In addition she said that the shells were coming from above which strongly suggests mortar fire as tank fire's trajectory is low and straight as opposed to the very high trajectory of mortar rounds. Hint . The KLA had mortars, the Serbs had tanks
  6. She has no idea about the huge number of outrages committed by the KLA against loyalist Albanians, Serbs and Rom in her immediate area
  7. She was forced to admit that she and her fellow refugees were fed by the Serbs for almost the entire week it took them to make their way to Albania
  8. She heard from relatives that here baby died. Hearsay for starters and the baby died of neglect. No war crime
  9. She said her village was on fire but was it from the KLA or perhaps from the firefights between the KLA and Serb forces? She doesn't know
  10. Same with the deaths of the two handicapped people in the tractor. Who caused the fire and was it an accident? Again she doesn't say
  11. She made the hilariously silly claim that the Serbs tried to run the convoy over with their tanks. Picture the scene of villagers out running tanks. For an entire week. Picture the chase sped up - a la Benny Hill show - with the Benny Hill soundtrack over it.
  12. The claim that over a hundred people were executed was hearsay and
  13. in addition, Slobo pointed out that the area where she'd calimed there were mass graves was proven to be just an empty field and local Kosovo Albanian witnesses agreed.
  14. She admitted that the Serbs treated the loyalist catholic Kosovo Albanians well and were left alone by the Serb security forces
  15. She got many dates mixed up as well as the most basic of facts.
  16. For example, with regards to her key evidence of witnessing the execution of two peole. At first she said it was a single paramilitary soldier who killed them with a pistol, firing single shots into their chests. Yet, in the Hague, she claimed it was a group of men firing automatic weapons at the two men. Very different and very difficult to account for.
Holmes: Yup. Another rotten day for the wretched prosecution. Slobo wins an evening out with the Boston Pops: the ICTY ? An evening out with the Boston Strangler.

Holmes and Watson: Arf
