HEADLINE: Massacre a 'crime against humanity' in Kosovo  Chris Stephen, in
Belgrade, examines the report into the killing of 45 Kosovo Albanians,
which stopped short of apportioning blame for the crime 

The long-awaited forensic report into the massacre of 45 Kosovo Albanians,
which triggered the present Paris peace talks and NATO's bombing threat,
was released yesterday. The massacre was described as a "crime against
humanity" by Dr Helen Ranta, head of a team of Finnish pathologists sent by
the European Union to investigate the killings in the village of Racak on
January 18th. 

But Dr Ranta stopped short of apportioning blame for the crime, saying that
was beyond her mandate.
