PRISTINA A court in Pristina acquitted on Tuesday due to a lack of evidence former KLA member Fatmir Limaj. He was charged with ordering and taking part in torturing of Serb and Albanian civilians and Serbian troops and police officers at a prison camp in Klecka. Limaj again acquitted of war crimes charges Limaj was also acquitted for the same crimes and on the same basis by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia more than three years ago. A mixed trial chamber of EULEX and Kosovo judges acquitted the remaining indictees as well: Arben Krasnici, Naser Krasnici, Naser Sala, Nedzmi Krasnici, Behlul Limaj, Saban Sala, Sabit Sala, Besim Surdaj and Refki Mazreku, EULEX said. The judges believe the prosecution's arguments are mainly based on the evidence supplied by now deceased witness Agim Zogaj. Zogaj's statement, known as his journal, contains 200 pages describing the events related to the camp in Klecka, including claims that Limaj personally ordered the death of two Serbs. Shortly before Limaj's trial was scheduled to start, in 2011, Zogaj was found hanged in a park in Duisburg, Germany. He had been under EULEX protection for two years, ever since he turned himself over to the authorities and agreed to speak about crimes committed by Limaj and 9 others accused of crimes in Klecka.
