Korisa

Death toll in the NATO attack on small village Korisa in south Kosovo raised to 87. This is by far the biggest massacre of civilians on Kosovo from WWII.

In 05-14-1999 massacre in Korisa, south of Prizren (Kosovo), the death toll raised to 79, with 58 more injured. The NATO officials admitted possible error and stated that Korisa was legitimate target and that killed civilians are regrettable collateral damage. In last few days NATO accused Yugoslav military for using Albanians as human shields and that civilian deaths are caused with this. This is exactly the same explanation, which Serbian regime used as an excuse for a large number of civilians killed in Drenica, for example. Since consequences are the same, what is the difference?
