Kalinofski??? Too Slavic. I wouldn't rule out murder. Remember the Bulgarian-American Red Cross guy who was brutally murdered by an Albanian mob just for speaking Bulgarian, which the apes 'mistook' for Serbian?

Or, it could have been suicide.

Sounds odd, indeed. If not a result of hostile forces, what is left other than 'friendly' engagement, a bar room brawl or suicide?

Unfortunately, many "unstable" soldiers commit suicide when they are deployed abroad. I remember during the initial days of Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti in Sept 94, 2 or 3 soldiers killed themselves because they "couldn't take it anymore" At least they killed themselves and not other people!

I just checked with someone who was there.
They were suicides.
Put your cynicism to rest on this account.

There's "accidentally" being shot - like what was reported as having happened to two Italian KFOR soldiers - and they weren't the only ones in Kosovo to be shot or have shot themselves "accidentally".

June 1999

On the evening of 24 June, an Italian soldier died at the university hospital in Pristina after discharging his weapon accidentally.

Italian KFOR soldier dies in accidental shooting

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, April 2 (AFP) - An Italian soldier in the Kosovo peacekeeping force (KFOR) died Sunday of an accidental gunshot wound at his military base in Pec, eastern Kosovo, a KFOR spokesman said.

The 29-year-old corporal died of a bullet wound to the head, but the spokesman said officials were "virtually certain this was not a suicide." He gave no details of the incident.

Freepers have tallied that almost 60 Kfor soldiers have died since Clinton sent them in to disarm the KLA.
