Kanë kaluar 20 vjet nga nisja e bombardimeve mbi caqet e ushtrisë serbe nga aeroplanët e NATO-s në fushatën humanitare për të ndaluar vrasjet dhe dëbimin e shqiptarëve nga Kosova.
Ndonëse deri më tani kemi parë fotografi të shumta nga kjo fushatë, një haker serb, me emrin Neven Djenadija, pretendon të ketë nxjerrë nga serveri i Ministrisë së Mbrojtjes së SHBA-së rreth 400 fotografi të kësaj periudhe, fotografi të cilat thotë të mos jenë publikuar kurrë më parë, raporton Koha.net.
Ai thotë se ka ndërhyrë në serverin e vjetër të Administratës amerikane derisa ishte duke u bërë bartja e të dhënave në serverin e ri, dhe deklaron se fotografitë janë të një cilësie shumë të lartë.
Më poshtë ju sjellim një pjesë të këtyre fotografive.
