Secret Complex Exists Underneath Belgrade.

BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro (AP) - A probe into the mysterious shooting of two soldiers has revealed the existence
beneath the Serbian capital of a secret communist-era network of tunnels and bunkers that could have served as recent
hideouts for some of the world's most-wanted war crimes suspects.

The 2-square-mile complex - dubbed a ``concrete underground city'' by the local media - was built deep inside a rocky hill in a residential area of Belgrade in the 1960s on the orders of communist strongman Josip Broz Tito. Until recently its existence was known only to senior military commanders and politicians.

The secret was revealed during an investigation this month into the deaths of two soldiers who were guarding an entrance to the complex. Both were found fatally shot.

Official explanations of the Oct. 5 incident have failed to satisfy the soldiers' families or a skeptical media, sparking speculation that fugitive Bosnian officers wanted by the United Nations for atrocities during the 1990s Balkans wars may have sought refuge in the complex, which was originally designed to resist nuclear attack.

A secret complex with guards? Just how secret was it if the military knew enough about it to gaurd it.?

All right... I almost expected this story to be about Berkeley or Ithaca, except that those complexes aren't secret.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised.

Don't they have some network running through a nation located behind what used to be known as the "Iron Curtain"?

Interesting...

How many more commie camps are there in existence that we do not know about? Even here within the U.S.?

Gee... all these years later, and suddenly this comes to light.

Now... what was that some folks were saying about Iraq not having any WMDs? Hm?

The existance of the underground tunnels around Belgrade has been long known. Tito based his defensive strategy on the dispersal of his forces around these underground bastions. Don't know how well these would have worked against a Soviet invasion, but it appears that the Serbs are still using them.

Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is believed to have convened his war Cabinet there in 1999 while NATO bombs fell on his country for 78 days to punish him for cracking down on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.

There the MSM goes again. Kosovo was filled with Kosovars until the raghead al-Banians moved in and tried to take their country from them. With the shameful and disgraceful help of our country they did.

I thought for sure someone had posted that "double-wide up on cement block pilings" photo again.
