SERB paramilitary troops who last saw action in the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo in 1999 are being trained for anti-terrorist duties in Afghanistan beside some of the US forces who helped expel them from the Yugoslav province.
*
The 1000-strong force comprises some former members of the "red berets", a feared military police unit which helped lead the campaign to drive the Albanian majority out of Kosovo and wipe out Kosovo Liberation Army resistance fighters.
*
The US has provisionally accepted the offer of the battalion to help relieve the strain on its overstretched garrison in Kandahar and to help hunt al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives in the mountains east of the city.
*
General Goran Radosavljevic, its proposed commander, led anti-guerrilla teams during the conflict alleged by Human Rights Watch to have committed atrocities against civilians, including the massacre of 41 villagers at Cuska in May, 1999.
*
A New York court is also considering charging the Serb officer, alleging that he and other officials were responsible for the execution of three Albanian-Americans.
*
The Serbs forced more than 800,000 Muslim Kosovars from their homes before Nato intervened in a 73-day bombing campaign and ground invasion.
About 10,000 Kosovars, mainly civilians, are estimated to have been killed. *
*
Nato approval is not needed for the planned Afghan deployment, since the Serb contingent would be under US command. Nato's peacekeeping remit is only for Kabul, the capital.
