  • Story Text: Thousands of Albanians gathered in south eastern
    Kosovo to rebury five KLA soldiers killed in a Serbian
    offensive last July.

    Bodies were found in various locations in woods
    around the town of Orahovac.

    They were buried with full KLA military honours on Friday (July 9).

    Relatives mourned and one woman fainted amid mournful scenes.

    Villagers were only recently able to retrieve the bodies.

    Until now it has not been safe to go up into the hills
    because of the dangers of mines and recent fighting with the Serbs.
