  Dispatches from Belgrade by Alex Bogojevic

Editor's Note: Since the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia began, Alex Bogojevic, a U.S.-trained physicist living in Belgrade, has been writing e-mail dispatches describing his life as the bombs fall. These dispatches can now be found on a regular basis on the MoJo Wire, but it is important to note that we have no way of confirming the information Alex sends us.

BELGRADE, APRIL 27, 1999 --

There has been a huge explosion very nearby. From my kids' bedroom window, I can see people running down the street. Planes are flying very low over the buildings.... I'm sorry, I have to stop. I'll try to get back later....

I'm okay; my babies are okay. Natasha is again at her hospital; I can't get to her. This was close. My heart is still racing. I don't think that I'll be able to write anything more now. I've got to slow down. Tomorrow I'm on call at the Institute all day, all night.
