The exact circumstances of the accident had yet to be explained, the statement said.

Add this to killing to your list of KFOR dead, vooch. I guess NATO could not call this killing an accident.

NATO wanst to get al-Qaeda? Then they should go after the Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army. Oh wait I forgot, the KLA is our ally. The US served as the KLA's private airforce against Yugoslavia did it not?

Snow is falling in the Kacanik Valley...............

Serbian forces had been forced out of Kosovo after 11 weeks of NATO airstrikes launched to protect the oppressed ethnic Albanians.

Yeah, we sure didn't want those poor Muslims to feel oppressed while they were busy planning terrorist attacks for bin Laden.

Psycho killer of the Jihad.

I surmise that they've destroyed almost every church in Kosovo since our war, this church was under construction to replace a destroyed one, the KFOR soldier was put there to protect it and then was killed for it. Now, will KFOR put more soldiers out in front of that church?

If we had any integrity we'd put troops back there and do it in such a way as to anticipate another attack and simply kill whoever attacks. Unfortunately, as you say Pericles, the evidence is that the KLA are our allies, so we don't do as we should.

Who was this British thug to carry a gun in Kosovo without a permit from the Kosovo Liberation Army? Did he believe he was on a football holiday, where he and his drunken hooligan mates would be cracking a few heads like the much vaunted paras do in Northern Ireland against unarmed civilians? Alas, if so, he was mistaken -- and like Sapper Collins has departed this earth for a much better place...

The so called British "army" was put in its place during their recent brief occupation of Slavic Macedonia. The Brits were warned against entering the sovereign state of the Tetovo Republic and they wisely backed down despite their big talk in the tabloids. KLA/UCK forces with their number -- just as earlier this year when they took down a Brit chopper and armoured vehicle...

The Brits will stand down or they will be hammered by the veteran fighters of the KLA and the skilled terminators of K-6. Like the young Hun over the weekend, this British "warrior" has died for nothing but the dreams of empire of the madman Tony Blair...

British troops stationed around the world from Kosovo to Oman -- and even once again in Afghanistan despite the harsh lessons of the days of Elphey Bey. Yet the armchair general Tony Blair overlooks protecting his vulnerable homeland. Who will protect the Brits when Islamic entente gunmen storm London with shattering explosions and suicide squads of automatic weapon, grenade throwing jihadists?

Unlike their American cousins, the Brit sheep unarmed and quite vulnerable now. Hundreds of Islamic militants await only the green light for a general uprising -- yet the British army is in Kosovo, and being killed there...

Dry is good and wind is better...

The Brits should not be laughing now... (tick tock)

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.

I have some really strong thoughts on this. Unprintable thoughts.

Major said the soldier had been on duty in front of a partially built Christian Orthodox church when he was shot.

Interesting choice of words. Note the author didn't say partially re-built. There is always an effort to distance any association of violence and destruction from Clinton's wonderful allies, the KLA Albanians.

Yesterday, a German; today a Brit. Info regarding both is very hush-hush. Hmmm, are some bin-Laden sympathizers trying to open a Balkan front?

spokesman Captain Ollie Major Poor will never get a promotion: in the British army, one's rank must never be higher than his surname.

Europeans are slow but eventually they will understand the reality about Islam too.

You can bet money there is an muslim terrorist finger print on the trigger.

They have such clever ways of saying thank you to their NATO allies for 77 days of bombing CHRISTIANS.

Another KLA Albanian Terrorist murder.

[arm958]

I'm assuming you didn't intentionally post partial information, but according to the BBC, the same Royal Army spokesman (Captain Ollie Major) emphatically stated twice that the soldier did NOT die as a result of any hostile action. It was a single gunshot wound to the head. It doesn't sound like a Muslim-Christian thing. Go to BBC and check it out.

protect the oppressed ethnic Albanians.

Doesn't matter how many times they say it doesn't make it true.

[Oplenac]

The AFP refers to Unrest, rather than being more honest in explaining that the vicious attacks have been relentless and directed primarily by the majority against the minority, with religion having next to nothing to do with it. And this Unrest...has dogged the UN mission: The understated, informal, passive has dogged avoids the true relationship between the KLA and US/NATO: the phoney KLA disarmament; the passive, peacekeeping, with "force protection" at its core, wherein murder and mayhem are passed off as mere Unrest;and the impunity given to the so-called UCPMB.

...NATO airstrikes launched to protect the oppressed ethnic Albanians. The Use of the word protect is more offensive than the word oppressed. NATO used, and to a large degree, created the ethnic Albanian refugees; they certainly cared nothing for their well-being. The more, the better to justify the illegal attack--an attack completely non-humanitarian for all parties, even the attackers. Of course, the word oppressed stands as a single-word indictment, with no mention of a civil conflict against a large fighting force, the KLA, which controlled a substantial swath of Kosovo. How can any truth surround another innocent dead?

Another casualty of the policy malpractice of Bill Clinton. Many more to come, unfortunately.

Nothing to see there, terrorism is normal, people get angry, you know (Sarcasm)
