[0:10] On World News Tonight this Sunday,
[0:12] adding up atrocities, NATO says it has
[0:16] identified 43 mass grave sites in
[0:19] Kosovo.
[0:21] Just yards from safety, a landmine laid
[0:23] by the Serbs kills members of a refugee
[0:26] family.

[1:32] grave sites in Kosovo, like this one.
[1:35] Neat columns of death, says NATO, dug by
[1:37] fellow ethnic Albanians. There have been
[1:40] numerous refugee reports of the Ser
[1:43] police assembling Kosovo Albanians into
[1:46] gravedigging chain gangs. A US official
[1:49] tells ABC News that tens of thousands of
[1:52] young males may have been executed in
[1:54] Kosovo, but Yuguslav authorities insist
