Vooch the LDK are primarily a western style democratic party who are pacifists. The only weapon the LDK have is their popularity with the Kosovar Albanian population that is why they hang on. The estimate I had was that approx. 700,000 of the population in Kosovo are LDK supporters. Rugova is not a stupid man but with the KLA noose around his neck and his followers it is difficult for them. I believe Rugova has been intimidated to the point of being partially controlled by the KLA. That is what the KLA do, if they can not push it aside they take it over. This is what happened to the Kosovo Police Service.

I would estimate that approx. 200 LDK member/supporters have been executed directly or indirectly by the KLA. This is a rough estimate based on investigations that were ongoing back in 1999. Those 5 Albanians before the U.N. courts in Pristina are a result of those investigations.

I have seen (back in 1999) the contents of a KLA PU abduction bag with included one very nasty cattle prod and of course the standard bellaclava and handcuffs.

I posted something about this some time ago. Of course if its not on CNN it can't be true. A lot of the Albanians found dead after NATO arrived was the result of the KLA execution squads. Not only LDK were targeted but suspected collaborators i.e. Albanians that worked within the Serb authority.

I know the KLA have a list of these people and are still hunting them down. Its the same in any conflict get rid of the traitors and informants. People should realized that Serbs are not responsible for all of the deaths in Kosovo the KLA have a lot of blood on their hands. This is a fact.

thanks for the info. My estimate arrived at some 70-80 Albanians killed by KLA in period November 98 - April 99. Your numbers cover a wider range than mine, but reach a similiar conclusion.

Your soucres are likely to be more reliable than mine, being closer to scene and all that.....

Is it possible for you to arrive at a number of Albanians killed by KLA for a period prior to March 1999 ?
