Action urged on massacre claim

Pristina - An ethnic Albanian human rights group in Kosovo, the Council for the Defence of Human Rights and Freedoms, yesterday called for a UN forensic investigation of Serbia's allegations that it had found a killing field and crematorium where Serb civilians were executed and burned. Serb government authorities said the murders and cremations were carried out by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), an ethnic Albanian insurgency fighting for independence in the southern Serbian province.
