Tension in Kosovo is mounting as air-strikes continue There were only 10 men among the group of women and children. Civilians surrounded' Albanian journalists have reported that the attacks against Kosovo Albanians intensified as the Nato air strikes continued into a second night on Thursday. Kosovo Albanians say there has been heavy fighting west of Pristina and that 20,000 civilians were surrounded by tanks in the northern village of Qirez. But Serbian reports say the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army has been using the cover of Nato strikes to launch attacks on Serbian positions. There has been no independent confirmation of the attacks.
Journalists are unable to substantiate the reports as access to Kosovo is now banned.
Brussels-based Albanian journalist Ekrem Krasnici told the BBC there had been numerous reports of fresh Serb offensives flooding from the province since the Nato air strikes began. There is clearly an uncontrolled situation in the majority of the villages and cities in Kosovo. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
