UNHCR says has evidence of new Kosovo massacre

LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) - The United Nations refugee agency said on Friday it had clear evidence that Serb forces massacreda large group of male refugees in the southwestern Kosovo village of Meja earlier this week.

"There has certainly been a mass killing. I think that is beyond doubt. We have had successive waves of refugees who have passed through that area, coming from different parts of southwestern Kosovo, and they have all spoken about bodies lying in ditches and in fields," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokeswoman Lyndall Sachs told BBC Television.
