10th Anniversary of 'Single Greatest' Ethnic Cleansing of Yugoslav War

HeadlineAug 05, 2005

This week also marks the 10th anniversary of what the New York Times called the “single greatest” ethnic cleansing of the Yugoslav civil war of the 1990s. In a 4 day blitzkrieg in August, 1995, US trained Croatian forces expelled more than a quarter of a million Serbs from their homes in the Krajina region of Croatia. It was called Operation Storm. One of the leaders of the operation was trained by the Virginia-based paramilitary firm, Military Professional Resources Inc. He is now a senior official in the US-installed government of the Kosovo province of Serbia.
