Belgrade, May 11 - Brutal liquidations typical of the most hardened criminals are taking place within the Kosovo Protection Corps which was hypocritically presented as a formation for restoration of order of any kind in the southern Serbian province.

Murders of several important terrorists in Kouchner's service over the last couple of months confirm that a criminal-terrorist organization which pulls the strings of smuggling, drugs, arms trade and so on is behind the peacekeeping name of the corps.

This conclusion is drawn, above all, on the basis of an analysis carried out in the informal headquarters of peacekeeping and anti-war organizations in Brussels regarding the murder of Ekrem Redzepi, a 39-year old commander of "Drini", a terrorist who operated with the so-called KLA on Pastrik mountain during the conflict with the Yugoslav security forces. The fact that he had been brutally murdered with 11 shots in front of his house in Prizren confuses the observers in Brussels, but also confirms that bitter mutual conflicts among the former terrorists and newly created officials have entered upon a new stage.

Redza is the second commander of the separatist KLA who was murdered in a public place last month. According to the reliable sources, his murder was commissioned by the very top of the Kosovo Protection Corps command. It is estimated that Redza was a victim of one of his closest associates and like-minded person, a fanatic fighter for independent Kosovo. This becomes evident considering the persistency of the U.N. officials in Pristina to hush up this case.

This information about the liquidation of Redza is confirmed by the Brussels analysts, who underscore that the stake here is a new kind of conflict, a clash between ethnic Albanians over the booty of war and fight for the control over the territory. Terming Kosovo and Metohija after the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK "a feud in which the terrorists fight over the booty of war", the Brussels observers say that the murder of Redza is the result of his strong position-Kouchner put him in charge of the Prizren region-as well as the fight for control over the crime, or simply a political one.

Though western sources try to make Redza "an ethnic Albanian Che Guevara", the fact is that the potential reason for his liquidation is half-taken post of the Prizren mayor before the announced (uninational) local elections this year. Fabrication of the image of an innocent fighter for freedom in Redza's case is aimed at camouflaging the obvious intention of the KLA leader Hashim Thaqui to eliminate the competition. Western analysts call this "Thaqui's political paranoia", considering it the main reason for the second wave of liquidations within the Kosovo Protection Corps.

Destiny of Besim Malja, one of the commanders of the terrorist KLA, who was murdered in mid April in Pristina favors this. Since he was a high official of the Kosovo Protection Corps and since the U.N. police has already arrested an ethnic Albanian suspected of committing the crime, the Brussels sources provide numerous evidences that the stake here is the murder committed because of the quarrel over the racket and split of the booty of war.

The fight for control over certain parts of Kosovo and Metohija not only eliminates the biggest criminals within KLA, but has also started endangering the safety of KFOR members and civilian population. In that sense, the example of Prizren where Redza had been liquidated is especially an illustrative one. Numerous bandits who came from Albanian and threw lots of people from their houses have settled here. Apart from this, as much as six German soldiers have been beaten up in Prizren over the last couple of days.

Regarding all these facts, Kouchner's statement that the murder of Redza was "a great loss for all those who were involved in restoration of peace and tolerance in Kosovo" seems cynical. The French doctor would like to bury what has long since been clear: commander of "Drini" has not made his mark as an important strategist and fighter, but as a terrorist who killed Serbs and non-Albanians.

Frequent liquidations of important ethnic Albanian terrorists come as no surprise to those well acquainted with the situation in Kosovo. This method has been applied before and several examples speak in favor of this. Our public remembers the case of one of the Kosovo protection Corps commander Mustafa Rustemi "Remi" from Podujevo, who escaped death by chance in a traffic accident in Pristina, which was stage-managed judging by the facts. Commander "Remi" was known as a man who broke loose from the French secret service.

However, Ahmet Krasnici failed to escape death. He was killed in Tirana more than a year ago. According to ethnic Albanian sources, this "Minister of Defense in parallel government of Kosovo Albanians" was liquidated by the terrorist KLA. His liquidation was then interpreted as a reprisal for the decision by ethnic Albanian terrorists to put themselves under the command of the illegal government despite disagreement by radical ethnic Albanians. Western sources gave some interpretations that conflict of families over the control and money was one of the main reasons for Krasnici's liquidation.

The story about brutal liquidation of high officials of the Kosovo Protection Corps sheds a different light on the role the U.N. and the International Community have in the southern Serbian province, confirming that crimes are being committed under the veil of the world organization. In that context we should observe Bernard Kouchner's role and his idea about uninational corps. Which events should take place in Kosovo in order to make the world realize that there are no humanitarian motives behind the peacekeeping mission, but only criminal intentions in which the most responsible persons are involved, thus selling what had remained of the reputation of the U.N. and International Community.
