Fergie backs Keane's Republic return Roy Keanes international retirement U-turn had the full backing of Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United skipper insists his return to the Ireland fold is not a gamble. Police spokeswoman Mirjana Konteska told reporters yesterday that six people, including three former police commanders, two special police officers and a businessman, have been charged with murder. That was an act of a sick mind, Ms Konteska said after a two-year investigation. They ordered the brutal murder of the seven Pakistani men. She described a meticulous plan to promote Macedonia as a player in the fight against global terrorism that involved smuggling the Pakistanis into Macedonia from Bulgaria, housing them, and then coldly gunning them down. The killings, she added, were part of an attempt to present themselves as participants in the war against terrorism and demonstrate Macedonias commitment to the war on terror. Since breaking away from Yugoslavia in 1991, Macedonia has been eager to win US political and economic support in its search for acceptance into the Western camp of nations. The so-called Rastanski Lozja action was carried out in March 2002 by special Macedonian police who claimed to have eliminated a terrorist group allegedly plotting to attack international embassies and representatives in the country. Ms Konteska said that the seven Pakistani men were in fact illegal immigrants who were lured into Macedonia by promises that they would be transferred to Western Europe. She refused to name the suspects but said that police generals Goran Stojkov and Boban Utkovski, and senior police official Aleksandar Cvetkovski, were among those allegedly involved. She also named former interior minister Ljube Boskovski, who is a parliament deputy, in connection with the shootings. Shortly after the announcement, a parliamentary committee revoked the immunity from prosecution that Boskovski enjoyed as a legislator. Officials said the committee had met earlier in the day following a request from the judge heading the inquiry. Boskovski, interior minister under the former nationalist government, headed the police during Macedonias 2001 ethnic conflict. He denied the allegations, telling reporters that he and his associates received a tip about the alleged Pakistani terrorists from unidentified American intelligence officers. But Ms Konteska claimed that forensic and ballistic showed the action was staged. She said the investigation was not finished and more suspects could be found. At the time, senior police officials said the seven men were killed after a police patrol was ambushed. Police claimed that assault rifles, hand grenades and ammunition were found near a van used by the Pakistanis. Ms Konteska said the plan to set up the Pakistanis and kill them was made by top police officials in February 2002, when the seven men were brought into the country from Bulgaria and housed in Skopje, the capital. On March 3, they were taken by police to Rastanski Lozja, about three miles north east of Skopje, and gunned down by special police, she alleged. They lost their lives in a staged murder, said Ms Konteska. After the killings, the US Embassy released a statement that said US personnel were not aware of any indication that there was a specific threat to the embassy. A US State Department official said that Washington had pressed for a inquiry and was pleased there would finally be one. In apparent retaliation for the deaths, Macedonias consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, was rocked by a bomb blast on December 5, 2002. Pakistani investigators found three bodies inside two men and a woman each with their hands and feet bound and their throats slit. Messages scrawled on a wall referred to Osama bin Ladens al-Qaida group and warned against infidels. Craig Ratcliff, spokesman for Nato in Macedonia, told the Associated Press yesterday that the international community at the time did not have a clear picture whether that was an anti-terrorist operation or something else. He said Nato was pleased about the government investigation, describing it as very much a positive step.
