>"It was an assassination attempt on the president of

>He said three laser-guided bombs hit the house, one

>Kosovo," a Pentagon spokesman told reporters.
>
>A NATO official in Brussels said the residence had functioned as a "presidential

>
>Seemingly unmoved, Milosevic held talks in Belgrade with Russia's new Balkans
>envoy, Viktor Chernomyrdin, who is trying to mediate an end to NATO's clash
>with Yugoslavia over its persecution of the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo.
>
>"We came with specific proposals to put an end to the tragedy in Yugoslavia,"
>Yugoslav state-run news agency Tanjug quoted Chernomyrdin as saying.
>
>State television later showed pictures of the pair meeting in the Beli Dvor
>presidential palace in a Belgrade suburb.

>In Washington, U.S. officials said NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana had
>authorized the alliance's military command to review plans for the possible
>use of
>ground troops in Kosovo.
>
>But one added: "The president has no intention of introducing ground troops
>into a
>non-permissive environment. We have complete confidence in our air campaign.
>We will prosecute it until our demands are met."
>
>British and French officials said no decision on whether to send troops
>into Kosovo
>would be taken at this weekend's NATO 50th anniversary summit in Washington.
>
>U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a German radio interview he believed a
>U.N. mandate would be sought for any international troop presence in Kosovo.
>None was sought for the air war under way against Yugoslavia.
>
>Defense Secretary William Cohen said a study last year concluded that as many as
>75,000 ground troops would be needed in Kosovo alone and that fighting through
>to Belgrade and the rest of Serbia could require 200,000 soldiers or more.
>
>In Brussels, EU officials said the European Union was rushing through a ban on
>the shipment of oil to Yugoslavia and the measure could take effect from

>of next week. Montenegro, Serbia's Western-leaning partner within federal
>Yugoslavia, said it hoped to be excluded from any oil ban.
>
>The conflict continued to send shock waves through Serbia's Balkan neighbors.
>Serb forces and Albanian guards exchanged fire on their border Thursday,
>international officials said.
>
>In Montenegro the border with Croatia was operating normally after the Yugoslav
>army closed it for two days. Tensions in the capital, Podgorica, were high
>ahead of
>an anti-NATO rally.
>
>In Sofia, hundreds of protesters denouncing the NATO strikes gathered outside
>Bulgaria's parliament as the government worked to win legal backing for NATO to
>use its air space.
>
>In Romania, parliament voted overwhelmingly to grant a NATO request for
>unrestricted use of its airspace.
>
>President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair met at the White
>House and
>agreed the NATO summit would show the alliance's strong resolve to defeat
>"ethnic
>cleansing" in Kosovo.
>
>Three powerful explosions shook Belgrade early Thursday, 20 missiles rained
>down on the Batajnica military air field on the capital's outskirts and a
>factory in
>central Serbia was hit, the Serbian news agency Beta said.
>
>Tanjug said warplanes bombed an ethnic Albanian area of the Kosovo capital
>Pristina later Thursday morning.
>
>A Pentagon spokesman said air strikes had damaged all four major routes from the
>Serbian heartland to Kosovo, cutting supplies to Yugoslav forces there by
>half. But
>he said they were "still responding to political guidance and still conducting
>operations."
>
>Air raids appear to have done little to stop Milosevic's forces from
>driving ethnic
>Albanians around and out of Kosovo.
>
>A U.N. aid official in Macedonia said Thursday a child died in a snowbound
>mountain hamlet while Macedonian authorities kept relief workers waiting
>for days
>for access to some 6,000 Kosovo refugees stranded there without food.
>
>Milosevic, in an interview broadcast by a Texas television station, denied

>bombing.
>
>"There was never a policy of this country -- and my policy -- to expel any

>"You know that before the 24th of March, when they started their damn bombing

>
>"I believe when aggression stop, when bombing stop, then it will be very easy to
>continue political process," Milosevic said in English.
>
>International organizations say some 960,000 people have fled or been expelled
>from Kosovo in the last year, 590,000 of them since NATO began air attacks on
>Yugoslavia.
