One of the main Russian newspapers - "Novaja Ezhednevnaja Gazeta" (New Daily Newspaper) - have published yesterday, November 25, on its front page the unsigned article entitled "NATO Uses The Prohibited Weapons Against Serbs".

"The expected and completely just Serbian response to the evident provocation of Moslems, who initiated the escalation of military conflict in Bosnia, have caused the real hysteria in United Nations Organization, who implemented from the beginning the American policy to encourage the henocide against Serbian people."

The paper gives the words of Richard Hallbrouck, assistant of the US Secretary of State, commenting the NATO air strikes against Serbian positions, and writes, that "he did not precise, how many civilians and villages were damaged after this strikes, as well as he did not mentioned, that NATO aircraft have used against Serbs some weapons, prohibited by international conventions."
