(6 Jun 1999) Natural Sound • • American B-52 bombers pounded Serb positions near the Albanian-Yugoslav border as the talks for a Yugoslav withdrawal from Kosovo continued on Sunday. • • The bombers struck in daylight near the key border crossing point of Morini. • • Clouds of black smoke rose into the sky as American B-52s dropped their bombs near the Morini border crossing inside Kosovo. • • Another explosion from the circling bombers rose harmlessly from the White Drini River Dam at the frontier, located 26 kilometres (12 miles) from Kukes. • • The strikes were aimed at Serb forces fighting guerrillas of the pro-independence Kosovo Liberation Army. • • Despite the earth-shaking bombs, Serb artillery continued to hammer at the guerrillas, who responded with mortar fire. • • Yugoslavia's acceptance of the peace plan for Kosovo has not ended the fighting in the border areas, where the rebels are trying to deeper into the province to continue their fight. • • Continued fighting underlines the problems peacekeepers will face in trying to restore order in the province after Yugoslav forces withdraw as demanded by NATO. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
