May 14, 1999, Serb forces entered the village of Cuska, rounded up all the men and boys, and shot them. They then set fire to the village, and chased away the elderly, women and young children. Numerous witnesses, photos, burned houses and a mass grave attest to the massacre. That same day, they repeated the scene in two nearby villages, Pavlan and Zahac.

Yet you insist that there were no deliberate Serb masacres?

sure enough your "eyewitnesses" are all KLA. The fact of the matter the village was a loyalist-moderate village which apparently refused to support KLA. One can infer that the menfolk ran afoul of KLA press gang. Recall that at Racak the KLA gang pressed some 60 elderly men into "fighting".

stop getting your information from liberal sources and perhaps you start seeing the full picture.

All 41 of those listed as having been killed in Cuska were age 19 or above (except one of unknown age) - where are the killed boys you mention?

Also, according to http://www.americanradioworks.org/features/kosovo/cuska/frame_body-part3.html , Cuska had no KLA activity :

Human rights investigators contend massacres like the one in Cuska, in which Serbian forces murdered unarmed civilians who offered no resistance, are textbook examples of war crimes. Yes, Cuska is the home village for the KLA's top commander, Agim Ceku. And Ceku's father was murdered on May 14, but several Serbian fighters say his killing was not the primary aim of the attack. "There's no evidence to suggest that Cuska had any KLA activity whatsoever," says Abrahams. "All of the villagers said that while some of them had been members of the KLA and fought in other areas, Cuska during the war remained quiet."

However, it appears there was reported terrorist activity from the village before the war.

Terrorist provocation in 1999

359. In village Cuska, Pec municipality, on February 5th at 8.25PM, Albanian terrorists opened fire on the policemen.
