Cohen orders planes home from Balkans
Secretary of Defense William Cohen announced the return to home bases of about 300 U.S. warplanes that took part in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. He noted 47,000 Serb troops left Kosovo in 11 days with 800 tanks and other equipment, and warned of a challenging postwar period as NATO peacekeepers move in. General Henry Shelton said redeployment could start immediately and finish in 10 days to two weeks, with B 1 and B 52 bombers and F 117 fighters among those returning. NATO forces in Kosovo total about 19,000, with reinforcement ships arriving at Bremerhaven as Gen Wesley Clark weighs pace of withdrawals.
