[0:16] Refugees bring harrowing tales out of
[0:19] Kosovo
[0:20] as NATO's commander visits the region to
[0:23] reassure Yugoslavia's neighbors. And the
[0:26] United States considers how to pay for
[0:28] its participation in the Balkans
[0:30] mission.
[0:41] Hello and welcome to you. I'm Michael
[0:42] Holmes and we begin with the latest on
[0:44] the crisis in the Balkans. Five ethnic
[0:47] Albanians reportedly are dead following
[0:49] a landmine explosion. An official with
[0:52] the Organization for Security and
[0:54] Cooperation in Europe says the Kosvar's
[0:56] vehicle hit the mine 20 m before
[0:58] crossing the Albanian border. It
[1:01] happened on the main road leading into
[1:03] Marina, Albania. Meanwhile, the All

[1:07] NATO's 25th night of attacks. Serbian
[1:10] television says bombs landed in a
[1:12] residential area about 20 kilometers
[1:15] northwest of Belgrade. A military
[1:17] airport is located in the area. The
[1:19] state-run TV reports a three-year-old
[1:22] girl was killed and several people were
[1:24] injured. NATO bombs reportedly also hit
[1:27] Yugoslavia's two oil refineries again.
[1:29] The alliance says it intends to deny the
[1:32] Yugoslav army petroleum and oil.
[1:36] Well, for more now on the military
[1:37] operation in Yugoslavia, we go to CNN's
[1:40] Jim Hill at the Pentagon. Jim, good
[1:42] morning. Good morning. It's been 4 days
[1:44] now, but uh NATO is still investigating
[1:47] an attack on a civilian convoy in Kosovo
[1:50] that happened on Wednesday. That ongoing
[1:53] investigation is because Yugoslavia is
[1:55] claiming that NATO planes are the ones
[1:57] who attacked the convoy and killed
[1:59] dozens
