War crimes prosecutors question Kosovo leader Thaci in The Hague

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has arrived for questioning by war crimes prosecutors in The Hague for the first time, saying that “nobody can rewrite history” over his role in the 1990s war.
Thaci was indicted by a special tribunal in late June for war crimes and crimes against humanity investigating the 1998-99 conflict with Serbia that won the province its independence.
Thaci and others are charged with being “criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders” in addition to other crimes against Serb, Roma and Kosovo Albanian victims while he was the leader of the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
