we found a workaround how to get out of the building safely this morning

Thursday 13 may (14:39)

Dearest Sabrina,

I don't think that our international connection have been bombed, yet.  I
do hope that rumours are only rumours, nothing else. And do, please,
understand that I subscribe to everything you said in your email!  And all
my family. The deactivation (i.e. intentional detonation of cluster bombs)
is still going on in the city (there were altogeter about 1,400 fragments
of them -- oh, by the way, I realised that I made a funny mistake when
trying to refer to cluster bombs in Italian yesterday on the phone :))... 
However, we found a workaround how to get out of the building safely this
morning -- through a disused basement door so that I did manage to buy some
stuff in a nearby grocery -- I found milk, bread and some chocolate cookies
there.  No cigarettes though :(( which did not hurt me at all but both
Saska and Snezana were quite upset.  I can see that you are a smoker too,
how about Fabrizio and your family?

I used to be a smoker and then, for my 40th birthday, decided to stop. 
That was a crazy idea at the time, and I thought that I would not hold out
long.  As it is, I seem to be unhooked, even though I have been harbouring
an idea:  to grant myself the pleasure of smoking a couple of cigarettes
after this nightmare is over.

Love,

Djordje

Dearest Sabrina,

Here is a copy of my email to Richard Walton.  Love to you and yours!

Hello Richard,

I haven't had the time to thank you and Mike (please forward this to him! )
for dispelling my fears.  I do hope that this tenuous link will continue to
span us.

Anyway, one more thing about cluster bombs  --- the police have been
deactivating them, but there are lots of fragments and they may have got
stuck anywhere:  in the grass right in front, in the gutters, on tops of
some garages and buildings, etc.  They will eventually claim their innocent
victims.  I saw one fragment (a bomb in its own right) in front of the
entrance to my building.  It is yellowish, about 25-30 cm long,
cylindrical.

Mary Robinson, the UN Hight Commissioner for Human Rights had been visiting
Aleksinac, the little place whose couple of streets were razed (one of the
collateral damages), and was on her was to Nis (my hometown) when this took
place. So she had a very good look at the hundreds of fragments of cluster
bombs!  She was shown on one of the local TV channels  -- almost speechless
when she saw what the US was doing.  You can trust my word, but she can
always be called upon to confirm this.  You must do something about this,
Richard. This is evidence, definitely.  There were some CNN and SKY
reporters there too.  I am not sure that they will muster up enough courage
to make this news big time...

Please spread this message too.  It is true. I cannot tell you what is
happening elsewhere as I would, perhaps, be saying things that are not
true.  What I am saying now is the truth though.

Best,
Djordje
