Belgrade - Four-day investigations of a a presumed mass grave location in south Serbia were officially closed Friday after no evidence was found. Head investigator of the Serbian war crimes court, Milan Dilpardic, told the Tanjug news agency that no evidence was found that pointed to the location being a mass grave containing the remains of ethnic Albanians.

Investigation of the site near the town of Raska, close to the border of Serbia's southern province of Kosovo, began Tuesday.

Earlier assumptions claimed that the remains of about 350 ethnic Albanians were located in the stone pit.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations administration in Kosovo (UNMIK) first reported on the possible mass grave in mid-April.

Bloody conflicts between Serbian forces and ethnic Albanian rebels ended in 1999 when a NATO-led bombing mission pushed the Serbian military out of the province.

Mass graves have been uncovered at three locations in Serbia since the fall of late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic's regime in 2000.

The remains of thousands of ethnic Albanians have been excavated from these sites.

Mass graves of Serbians too
By: Gigi Goode , Sat, 09 Jun 2007 00:57:29 GMT

You may want to add that several mass graves were found in Kosovo holding the bodies of a almost two thousand Serbian Christians, including at least one Orthodox Christian Monk.

These unfortunate people were kidnapped and killed by the KLA before, during and after the NATO bombing of 1999. There are still over 2,000 missing Serbs, men, women and youngsters who were taken by the KLA.

All Serbian bodies found thus far showed signs of extreme torture and most were beheaded, like Daniel Perl who was killed by terrorists in Pakistan.
