A former member of Serbia’s notorious paramilitary unit testified in chilling detail on how his ex-comrades massacred ethnic Albanian civilians in one of the most brutal atrocities of the Kosovo war.
Four members of the Scorpions paramilitary group are being tried in Belgrade on charges of gunning down 19 civilians, including children and the elderly, in the Kosovo town of Podujevo in March 1999.
The witness said he feared for his life because he decided to testify in exchange for clemency. He was identified only as “P1” and spoke from behind a curtain to hide his identity.
