CIA starts work
on Kosovo
President Bill Clinton has told the CIA to look for ways to get
the Milosevic government out of power. Newsweek Magazine said that
the CIA was going to use some of these techniques. The use of computer
hacking to attack Milosevic’s international bank account. A
campaign to erode his public support. However, the CIA doesn’t have
the permission to train the Kosovo Liberation Army to perform cover acts
of sabotaging. Newsweek also said that other NATO allies are not
to be told about this secret war. But some experts say that if the
CIA does the job, the great. But if it fails to do it, they will
be in big trouble.
