| British sniper Craig Harrison and fotos during Kosovo War (archive) |
British sniper Craig Harrison, in an interview with Dodge Wodall, has recounted his harrowing experiences during the Kosovo War. In this interview, Harrison also spoke about the deterioration of his mental and psychological state due to the horrors he witnessed after landing in Kosovo as part of NATO forces.
Harrison shared one of the most disturbing incidents he experienced in Kosovo when, in the basement of a school, he found six naked women, alive and covered in blood, who had been assaulted by the Serbian army.
"I remember when they took control of a village, we took over the school, and it had to be used as a central base. But first, we had to clear it. I remember going down into the basement and walking down a long corridor with doors on both sides. In each of these rooms was a mattress covered in blood. And at the end of the corridor was a door. My friend Ron was with me, and I told him to cover me. I opened the door. I think there were 6 women, all naked, alive, in this dark room, covered in blood that the Serbs had assaulted," Harrison recounted.
He then explained that he removed his military cap and vest because the last thing those women would want to see were military uniforms and weapons.
Harrison said that he later asked his army buddy Ron to call some female soldiers to comfort the Kosovar women they had found and to alleviate their fear and stress. He also mentioned that they used some blankets to cover the women they found in that basement.
The British sniper stated that the experience in Kosovo was a true horror.
When asked how he would describe what he saw in Kosovo, Harrison raises the question of how one human being can do such things to another human being.
"There are no words to describe it," said Harrison.
Additionally, Harrison recounted a moment when they came across a mined field somewhere in Kosovo, where they also found the heads of two individuals who had fallen in that mined field laid by the Serbs.
