"Monitoring units of the Macedonian Army noticed, in the region of the Kosovo village Krivenik, about 30 armed individuals wearing military uniforms with the sign of the Macedonian Army, just a while before the incident in which Kerem Lawton, a television news producer from Associated Press, lost his life. The spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, Gjorgji Trendafilov, says that this armed group was also noticed by the soldiers of K-For who immediately contacted the Macedonian Army.

The spokesman, Trendafilov, explained the impossibility the producer of APTN was killed by a grenade fired by the Macedonian Army, because the weapons of the Macedonian Army in the region of the watchtower, Chaska, hasn't got that fire range. As the army representative informed, the soldiers of the Macedonian Army acted from positions 4 km from the border on Macedonian territory and fired at the so called "elevation peak 802" occupied by Albanian terrorists. The Kosovo village, Krivenik, is about 2 km on the other side of the border. The fire range of the Macedonian Army stationed in that region was 4.000 meters".

As you would say, "Bottom line, mark502inf knows this, but again, he choose not to let those facts get in the way of his discourse."

Comedia e finita. It must be stressful painful to do this kind of work for a living. Methinks 'mark502inf" will leave FR pretty soon (and perhaps resurface under another handle)

DTA, you are persistent, but persistently wrong. The Macedonian Army was firing 120mm mortars in that area. Their range is 5400 meters, putting them in range of Krivenik. You can read all about it in the NATO report.
