More civilian casualties

Tuesday, 27 April: (8:54 p.m.)

Dear Sabrina,

I have just seen the little town of Surdulica, south of Nis, bombed.  The
bombing took place at noon (!!) and the missiles hit the centre of the
town, destroying several houses and killing at least ten people.   The Nis TV5
station sent their reporter there and we were able to see one of the
survivors, badly wounded, lying in a hospital bed, telling about his family
who had all been killed only hours ago.  So ten dead, more buried in the
rubble.  By the way, I know the reporter personally, he is not a person to
lie.

Terrible.  At the same time they blew up the waterworks in Surdulica.  I
don't know if you have heard about it, but the Novi Sad (300,000)
waterworks was hit too, so all those people have no water now...  This list of
monstrosities is mounting.

Have to go now.  The Cat (its name is Ljubitsa, meaning The Loved One) is
*about* to give birth to kittens, she's cuddly and purring all the time,
and checking up on the several places where she could go to after getting the
labours...:))   I hope the monsters won't come, at least tonight.

Love to you and the family,
Djordje

Dear Sabrina,

I am at the computer this minute and thought it would be nice to reply
right away.  No, she hasn't given birth to the little ones yet... but we think
she is about to... I forgot to tell you that the Surdulica attack at noon today
resulted in at least 100 (!) houses burnt to the ground.  Nice work.

I am praying for peace.  I just wish to be able to write to you leisurely,
taking my time and being myself.  You know:  I don't think that I've been
myself for quite some time now.

Love,
Djordje
