Burining of the Serbian village Svinjare, March 17

Part II
Kosovo Albanian mob rushed towards the Serbian village of Svinjare south of Mitrovica. KFOR apparently was not willing to defend the village and only evacuated Serb civilians to the North side of the River Ibar. Albanians made their way to the village, looted all homes and burned 150 houses. Kosovo Albanians took Serb possessions in trucks, tractors and other vehicles and nobody stopped them. The village was completely destroyed although the KFOR base was erected to protect this Serb enclave.
