§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether British pilots were among those who engaged in "periodically dump[ing] bombs on a site outside Sarajevo, dubbed the 'CNN target'…to kick up smoke and dust for television cameras" during the August 1995 NATO bombings of Serbian targets in former Yugoslavia, as reported in the International Herald Tribune, 17.11.95., page 2; "The Anatomy of Nato's decision to bomb Bosnia".
Earl HoweUK aircraft, along with those of other NATO nations, attacked a number of Bosnian Serb targets during Operation Deliberate Force, including some positions in the vicinity of Sarajevo. This was part of an operation to deter further attacks against Sarajevo and other safe areas. All targets were carefully selected by UN and NATO commanders in accordance with this objective.
