British and Austrian officials, in a departure from their inert European colleagues, voiced outrage Wednesday after some 30 ethnic Albanians died in two massacres over the weekend. Villagers described woman, children, and elderly shot at close range, their bodies mutilated. Witnesses also reported that one of the attacks, near the village of Gornije Obrinje, was carried out by men wearing Serbian police or Yugoslav army uniforms. A Serbian spokesman denied the charge. Britian's foreign minister said he was "appalled," and Austria condemned the violence as "bestial."
