What America gets in return for liberating Kosovo.
Execution-Style Killings
Arid U. (originally from Kosovo) had apparently gone to the airport armed with a pistol and two knives to look for American soldiers. When he recognized a group of soldiers, he asked one of them for a cigarette and checked whether they were on their way to Afghanistan. After the airman had confirmed that they were, U. shot him in the head from behind as he turned back toward the bus.
Then, prosecutors said, U. boarded the bus and shot the 21-year-old driver dead. He then went farther into the bus and shot two other airmen, aged 25 and 21. The two men survived the attack with serious injuries, though one is still in a critical condition.
