((NATO DID IT'S BEST TODAY TO CLEAR UP DEADLY CONFUSION ON THE BATTLEFIELD - BUT THE REALITY WAS THE SAME. - CIVILIANS HAD PROBABLY BEEN KILLED AND NATO ADMITTED IT.
BRIG GEN DAN LEATH//US AIR FORCE: It is our assessment that NATO forces may have inadvertently struck civilian type vehicles, and perhaps civilian personnel in the attack on
a large convoy.
BUT THE CARNAGE SHOWN ON SERB TELEVISION DIDN'T SQUARE WITH THAT STORY-SOME VICTIMS REPORTEDLY SUFFERING WOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE TO INFLICT FROM THE AIR.
Some reporters have also indicated that the victims in the convoy attack appeared to have been machine gunned, not bombed.
IT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN WHAT VERY WELL COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. OVER THE WEEKEND, YUGOSLAVIA OFFICIALLY SEVERED DIPLOMATIC TIES WITH ALBANIA AND BEGAN SHUTTING ITS BORDER CROSSINGS - FORCING THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES BACK INTO THE BATTLE ZONE - CONGREGATING NEAR THE HEART OF SOME OF NATO'S KEY TARGETS.
STILL - THE ALLIES INSIST THERE WILL BE NO LET UP IN THE AIR CAMPAIGN - THE PRESIDENT REQUESTING SOME 6 BILLION DOLLARS TO FUND IT AT LEAST THROUGH SEPTEMBER.
CLINTON:
There are lives - right away.
BUT EVEN AS THE AIR WAR RACKED UP SUCCESSES - NATO IS CONSIDERING OTHER WAYS TO HURT THE SERB MILITARY - INCLUDING CUTTING OFF OIL SUPPLIES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES - ANOTHER STEP FURTHER ESCALATING WHAT THE U-S CONTINUES TO CALL A CONFLICT, NOT A WAR.
JOE LOCKHART//WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN:
It doesn't make sense - re- supplying them.
LEE COWAN//CBS NEWS:
But exactly how to do that remains a question - some wonder if it is even legal - leading to speculation that a Naval blockade could be the first topic to cause cracks in the NATO coalition. Lee Cowan, CBS News,
