Rebel Hell

(2 of 2)

Back in Tetovo, police and army forces continue to pound suspected rebel sites. While NATO has refused to offer troops, it is providing intelligence, training and communications assistance. The Bush Administration said on Saturday that it would help improve Macedonia's "military capabilities." In Sipkovica the day after last week's shelling, 20 children huddled in a darkened cellar, waiting for the bombs to start falling again. In the gloom, infants and their mothers cried out in alarm as word spread of a new bombardment. "The bombs are coming from the sky!" exclaimed Zeqige Rexhepi, 40, mother of five, wringing her hands. "I don't understand anything anymore." She is not alone.
