24 March 1999: Remembering the NATO led War on Yugoslavia: Kosovo “Freedom Fighters” Financed by Organized Crime | Global Research
Twelve years ago, March 24th 1999, marks the commencement of
NATO’s aerial bombardment of Yugoslavia. The bombings which lasted for
almost three months, were followed by the military invasion (under a
bogus UN mandate) and illegal occupation of the province of Kosovo.
In the course of the last week, the so-called international
community, backed by the UN Security Council has called for the bombing
of Libya, a sovereign country, allegedly to protect the lives of
civilians under the logo of “Responsibility to Protect”.
The covert operations, the military strategies applied in Libya not
to mention the process of media disformation bear a canny resemblance to
Yugoslavia in 1999.
The Libyan “humanitarian bombing” campaign is an integral part of a
military strategy which consists in destroying the country’s civilian
infrastructure. It is a “copy and paste” of previous “humanitarian
bombing” endeavors including the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia and the 2003
military campaign and occupation of Iraq.
The military technology applied today against Libya is far more sophisticated and precise.
In 1999, when Belgrade was bombed, the children’s hospital was the
object of air attacks. It had been singled out by military planners as a
strategic target.
