UK Journalist Jill Dando's appeal for aid for the Kosovar Albanian refugees had been shown on BBC television three weeks before her murder. Also opposing Serbia in Kosovo, journalist Slavko Ćuruvija was assassinated outside his home in Belgrade just a few days before Dando's murder, and the method used in both cases was identical.

In early 1999, the UK and NATO were involved in the Kosovo War, opposing Serbia. Immediately after the Dando killing a number of telephone calls were made to the BBC and other media outlets claiming responsibility for the killing on behalf of Serb groups. These calls stated that the murder was revenge for the NATO bombing campaign in Serbia, and threatened further killings.

At Barry George's first trial, his defence barrister, Michael Mansfield, proposed that the Serbian warlord Arkan had ordered Dando's assassination in retaliation for the NATO bombing of the RTS headquarters. Mansfield suggested that Dando's earlier presentation of an appeal for aid for Kosovar Albanian refugees may have attracted the attention of Bosnian-Serb hardliners.

In 2019, it was reported that the British National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) had given an intelligence report to the Dando murder enquiry claiming that the murder was in retaliation for the RTS bombing and Arkan had ordered the killing. The report highlighted a possible connection between the bullet used to kill Dando and bullets used in assassinations in Germany, namely handmade markings found on them. In 2019, four men of the Serbian Secret Service were convicted of this murder.

In 2002, journalist Bob Woffinden had advanced the view that a Yugoslav group was behind the Dando killing and, in various newspaper articles, contested all the grounds on which the police had dismissed this possibility.[/quote]

Even by the usual standards of BBC bashing, this is bizarre. The media is not on our side. Not really an answer, my old fruit.
Patricia Moss	The bullet was Serbian style ammunition, crimped same way.

Also ask why, 2-weeks before Dando's murder and also strongly opposing Serbia in Kosovo, journalist Slavko Ćuruvija was 'professionally' killed outside his Belgrade home; with the close-contact method in both cases so similar? Before (if we really have to) we ask any of this can we please explore what the phrase non-sequiter means?
