      In this report, Michel Chossudovsky provides conclusive
      documentary and photographic evidence that contrary to the
      statements of various international observers, the
      environmental catastrophe at the Pancevo petrochemical plant
      was neither the result of 'collateral damage' (that is, an
      accident of war) nor a case of criminal negligence (that is,
      resulting from criminal disregard of consequences).

      Rather, the evidence is compelling. NATO willfully blew up
      with meticulous accuracy containers of toxic chemicals with the
      intention of creating an ecological nightmare.

 At the outset of the War, NATO had reassured World opinion that
 "precise targeting" using sophisticated weaponry was intended to
 avoid "collateral damage" including environmental hazards:

      "We do everything we possibly can to avoid unnecessary
      collateral damage. We take it very seriously, work very hard at
      doing that, spend a lot of time planning for the missions."1

 At the Pancevo petrochemical complex located in the outskirts of
 Belgrade, however, exactly the opposite occurred. "State of the art"
 aerial surveillance and satellite thermal image detection were not
 only used to disable Yugoslavia's petrochemical industry; they were
 willfully applied to trigger an environmental disaster.

 The air raids on the Pancevo complex started on April 4th 1999 and
 continued relentlessly until the 7th of June. The Pancevo complex
 also included an oil refinery facility (built with technical support
from
 Texaco) and a Nitrogen Processing Plant producing fertilizer for
 Yugoslav agriculture. The petrochemical plant was bombed
 extensively (41 bombs and 7 missile attacks). The bombed areas
 were within less than two hundred meters from residential buildings.
