Adzic, Belgrade. I replied to both email addresses ( the one from CERN in Switzerland and the one from Belgrade) and didn't get a reply. They ask to send this to as many people as possible to avoid the disaster. Perheaps it would be useful to inform the press, anybody knows how/who? Raimonda Usai ------------- Real disaster threat Dear friends, Something which we feared that might happen, seems very likely. I can confirm now we expect that NATO planes will bomb VINCA Institute. In the passed several days we received this warning, but today we got this information as serious threat from the highest authorities. Our reactor is not working for more than 15 years, but the significant amount of 235-U enriched and unused fuel is still in its interior. Highly radioactive material for everyday activities is also located in several research laboratories. I fear that a big disaster may occur. In the worst case, no Balkan and even European country would be safe. Not to mention ecological catastrophe. I still hope that this disaster could be avoided, unless we are already late. I would appreciate if you succeed in informing as many people as possible on the eventual tragedy. God bless you. P.R. Adzic ------ P.R.

NATO has rationalized the murder of journalists and the destruction of transmitting facilities by claiming they were disseminating "official propaganda." Now they want to shut down the only independent source of news and information between Yugoslavia and the outside world. As with the systematic destruction of Yugoslavia's infrastructure, this is an attack not on the military but on all the people. Now only NATO's version of the war will be available. How nice. --MC + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + PLEASE POST AND DISTRIBUTE WIDELY US shuts down Yugoslav Internet Dear sirs, We have reliable information that the US Government ordered Loral Orion company to shut down its satellite feeds for Internet customers in Yugoslavia. This action might be taken as soon as later tonight or tomorrow (May 12 or 13, 1999). This is a flagrant violation of commercial contracts with Yugoslav ISPs, as well as an attack on freedom of the Internet. A Web site in protest of these actions should be up shortly. We will supply you with the URL. In the meantime, please be so kind to inform as many people as possible about this tragic event for the Internet community in Yugoslavia and Europe. Kind regards, BeoNET Belgrade, Yugoslavia http://www.beonet.yu
