Cluster bomb injured a two months old baby
Western-Europe Alliance air forces dropped three cluster bombs on the Serbian village of Velika Hoca on Friday. Zoran Gogic (age 14), Sanja Djuricic (age 21) and her two months old baby, Natasa Micic (age 19), Djordje Ilic, Sasa Micic, Mladen Mavric, Blagoje Ilic and Djordje Djuricic were injured by the bombs forbidden by the international convention.

The family houses of the Gogic, Djuricic and Micic families are not capable for living any more because they are destroyed in the detonations and fires which broke out afterwards.

Just to remind, this is the village with 13 churches dating from the XII, XIII and XIV century called by the historians and chronologists a little ''Sveta Gora'' (Holy Mt.) and is under the protection of UNESCO.

As we found out from the priest Milenko Dragicevic, several churches were damaged in this attack, mostly the temple of St. Stefan built in XII century.
