Hillary Clinton hears Kosovars' tales of tears

SKOPJE, Macedonia (CNN) -- The wife of U.S. President Bill Clinton toured the refugee camps of Macedonia on Friday, listening to uprooted Kosovars' tales of a forced exodus from the Serbian province where they once lived.

Hillary Rodham Clinton called the refugees' stories "extremely disturbing," saying they brought up images that hadn't been seen in Europe since World War II.

"You feel almost like you're intruding, but they want to tell you what it felt like when they lost their children," Mrs. Clinton said.

NATO accuses the Yugoslav army and Serb special police of conducting a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against Kosovo's Albanian population.
