Letter: Nato aim unclear
Sir: Mr Agani, and thousand of his fellow Kosovars, have not been executed by the Serbian forces ("Kosovo's men of ideas are dragged from homes and shot", 30 March). They have been murdered.
"Execute" implies legitimacy - the carrying out of a judicial sentence. Execution, however morally wrong, is a legal action; murder never is.
