Burining of the Serbian village Svinjare, March 17

Kosovo Albanian mob rushed towards the Serbian village of Svinjare south of Mitrovica. KFOR apparently was not willing to defend the village and only evacuated Serb civilians to the North side of the River Ibar. Albanians made their way to the village, looted all homes and burnde 150 houses. Photos down show all KFOR vehicles in the nearby KFOR base parked and not engaged to stop the looters and arson attacks. A Kosovo Albanian boy posed in front of cameras in front of one looted and burned Serbian home with a flag. Kosovo Albanians took Serb possessions in trucks, tractors and other vehicles and nobody stopped them. The village was completely destroyed although the KFOR base was erected to protect this Serb enclave.
