Look, people report Kosovar Albanians being killed by Serb forces. The ICTY investigates these reports, finds mass graves, and exhumes the victims. Those victims are the 4,211 number in the report.

Not KLA fighters, not victims of NATO bombs, and not Serb civilians. The methodology excludes those groups from the victims considered in the report. The "Killings" section of the report deals with Kosovar Albanian victims of Serb forces, and it explicitly states this in the introduction and details in the body of the report.

This is beyond your amateur hour understanding and efforts to discredit.

The very date YOU pointed say that LESS that half was identified and it does not specify which of the dead were the civilian Albanians or how they died.

Really? How did they exclude them? BTW, why the Serbian government forces would want to kill the civlians when they were busy fight the guerillas while being bombed by NATO? Just because they are evil malicious Serbs who want to prove that they are monsters?

This is beyond your amateur hour understanding and efforts to discredit.

OK, tell me what would be the normal number of dead in a civil war with foreign involvement? A dozen? In American Civil War on the Confederate side 200 000 soldiers died (see America's Major Wars ). In Kosovo by proportion it would mean 50 000 without counting the civilian deaths.

And where this 500-100 thousand victims of "genocide" went?
