[0:17] On World News Tonight this Thursday,
[0:19] NATO admits it was an American pilot
[0:21] that bombed and killed civilians in
[0:23] Kosovo. We'll take a closer look at the
[0:25] pressure a pilot is under. The DNA sets
[0:28] two men free. They were convicted of
[0:30] murder. It took 12 years. And our

[0:49] From ABC News World Headquarters in New
[0:52] York, this is World News Tonight with
[0:55] Peter Jennings. Good evening. The NATO
[0:57] alliance admitted today that it was one
[0:59] of its own that mistakenly bombed ethnic
[1:01] Albanian civilians in Kosovo yesterday
[1:03] morning. No more blaming it on the
[1:05] Serbs. The Serbs have characterized NATO
[1:08] as being on a campaign against
[1:09] civilians. The government in Yugoslavia
[1:11] says that 75 civilians died yesterday
[1:14] and that there was more than one
[1:15] incident. The US and its NATO partners
[1:19] are trying to keep the public focused on
[1:21] the overall mission. Our first report is
[1:23] from John McGuffy who's at the Pentagon.
[1:27] The planes were F-16 jet fighters, two
[1:30] of them patrolling the southern part of
[1:32] Kosovo. From their cockpits at 15,000
[1:34] ft, they reported seeing villages on
[1:37] fire and refugees choking the roads.
[1:40] They flew in and out of low clouds and
[1:42] officials say anti-aircraft fire was at
[1:45] times intense
