(S) Recent International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) indictments of senior Croatian Army (HV) officers for crimes committed during the 1995 "Operation Storm" in the disputed Krajina region, have resulted in several Croatian press articles alleging US Government complicity in these operations. Consequently, a Newsweek journalist investigating these claims has requested comments from the US State Department and Intelligence Community. Defense counsel for at least one of these suspects will probably attempt to claim that the US Government supported the planning and/or execution of this controversial military campaign.
