commune of Gllogoc, has massacred and killed then has burnt the
cadavers of 53 unarmed civil albanians starting from six month babies and
up to 75 years old people. According to numerous witnesses of this

started to go from Poklek i Vjetėr to Gllogoc, in the place were albanian
civil population of the villages around Gllogoc was gathered and they were
kept under serbian control. Somewhere about 1,5 Km away from the village
a serbian picgauer full of polices and has ordered them to go back in their
houses. They were forced to turn back because they threaten and it was
shooted in their direction. After the families came back in their houses
immediately two serbian police came wearing some black ribbons in their
heads.First they killed the dog in the yard then they called for Sinan to go
out and they spoke with him in serbian language. After this, the two
serbian police mans went in the yard of the village school and met with
other police mans placed there. Meanwhile, Sinan turned back inside and
told to their members of his family that the policeman had asked him "if
there was any terrorist inside"? In these conditions of terror and anxiety,
the families were kept during all day till 17.30 o`clock, then one of those
serbian polices came in a room inside Sinan`s house where all families were
gathered including children, women, and old age people. Then the serbian
policeman has threw a bomb which fortunately didn`t explode but he
threw another bomb and this time unfortunately the bomb exploded in the
lap of Miradije Rifat Muqollit (55). Immediately the serbian terrorist
policeman has fired with automatic gun more then seven cartridges killing
