Ex-official is accused of trumping up charges
Skopje, Macedonia _ Police accused Macedonia's former interior minister
Saturday of ordering the killings of seven Pakistani illegal immigrants he
falsely accused of being terrorists to show solidarity with the U.S.-led war on
terror.
Six others -- including former minister Ljube Boskovski's three top
associates, two special police commandos and a businessman -- also were accused
in the March 2002 killings.
Boskovski, who oversaw the police, is suspected of ordering the executio
ns of the seven men after publicly claiming they were a terrorist group
planning to attack foreign embassies in Macedonia, police spokeswoman Mirjana
Konteska told The Associated Press.
"We believe that Boskovski played the crucial role in this," Konteska
said.
The police charges are the first step in a legal process likely to lead to
an official indictment and a trial. The suspects could face life in prison if
convicted.
On Friday, authorities acknowledged the killings were in fact executions
of illegal immigrants who were not terrorists as part of a plot to promote the
Balkan country as a player in the fight against global terrorism.
