TARGET YUGOSLAVIA:  NATO's WAR OF AGGRESSION
Wednesday, 5 May 1999

Radio Havana Cuba presents its coverage of the ongoing U.S.-
led NATO aggression against Yugoslavia.

YUGOSLAVIA UPDATE / AS THE BOMBS KEEP TUMBLIN' DOWN...

U.S. President Bill Clinton is touring several U.S. military
bases in Germany with the loss of two GIs hanging in the
background.  On Tuesday, Clinton met in Brussels with NATO
Secretary General Javier Solana and Allied Supreme Commander
U.S. General Wesley Clark to review the military campaign
against Yugoslavia.

In Moscow, Victor Chernomirdin, Russia's Special Envoy on
Yugoslavia, briefed the Kremlin on his talks with the U.S.
president in Washington shortly before Clinton left for his
European tour.  Chernomirdin expressed optimism over Moscow's
and Washington's position on the Kosovo crisis.

Also on the Yugoslav conflict, armed clashes between Albanian
Yugoslav forces were reported on Wednesday.  In Belgrade,
government spokespersons say President Solobodan Milosevic is
preparing to make another peace proposal, with a multi-
national U.N. force as a primary element.

Meanwhile, two U.S. helicopter crew members were killed near
Tirana, the Albanian capital, when their Apache helicopter
crashed during a training flight.  This is the second 14.5
million dollar helicopter that Washington has lost since the
aggression against Yugoslavia began seven weeks ago.

The Pentagon recently dispatched 23 Boeing-manufactured Apache
helicopters from bases in Germany to Albania, preparing for a
ground invasion into Yugoslavia.

In the United States, the Wall Street Journal reports in its
Wednesday edition that NATO has outlined a plan for the
deployment of 60,000 troops in the Yugoslavian province of
Kosovo this summer.

Without citing sources, the daily said that one-third of those
troops would be provided by the United States.  The primary
mission of a ground invasion of the area would be the military
occupation of Kosovo, following NATO's anticipated pull-out of
Yugoslavian troops.
