2) World news roundup
KOSOVO SCENE JUST GETTING UGLIER…
The Pentagon confirmed Monday that the US could possibly send several hundred
warplanes to intensify attacks on Yugoslavia, in addition to the 82 new planes
approved by the Pentagon this weekend. …One such attack by NATO resulted in
ten deaths as a NATO missle struck the side of a Yugoslav train. …The US
reiterated its desire for all ‘key’ Serb forces to leave Kosovo as soon as a
settlement is reached, in order for peace to be secured.
IN OTHER NEWS…
President Clinton is in legal trouble once again. He has been found guilty of
civil contempt by US District Judge Susan Webber Wright for what she called,
“willful failure” to obey orders to testify truthfully about his relations
with
Monica Lewinsky in the Paula Jones deposition. …46 people are missing in
what
appears to be a hijacking of a Colombian plane Monday. A group of men thought
to be leftist rebels took control of the domestic Colombian flight and landed
in a remote airfield, where they unloaded the 41 passengers and five crew
members onto boats, the destination of which is thus far unknown.
