On the news today.
Remember my day to day description of the 10 day war that Slovenia fought for independence for the 20 anniversary ??
On the June 30th thread I mentioned a JLA (Yugoslav national army) terrorist was on a rampage trough Ljubljana that resulted in 2 people dead and 2 wounded.
Some archives were made non-confidential recently and a journalist discovered, that it was not a JLA operative (either a hardline sympathiser or on orders from Belgrade), but a TO soldier (Territorial defense, the Slovene army) gone mad. :o
So after 23 years we find out that one of ours went postal.
Since I already started, I'll just describe the events at that night.
It was the night 29th of June to 30th of June, 1991, right in the middle of the war. A high ranking assembly was in session at the parliament so the entire city was on high alert.
At 23:00 the TO soldier (identity still unknown, the official story said it was a JLA conscript from Kosovo that was captured few days earlier and later escaped, archives say that he wore TO insignia and left a TO occupied building) started from a Student home in the city center.
At 23:40 he tries to steal a vehicle from a resident but she drives away. He shoots at her but misses.
23:45 he stops another resident with a Zastava 101 and forces him to exit and after that commandeers the vehicle.
23:50 he comes to a truck barricade where he kills a policeman Stanislav Strasek and wounds 2 truck drivers that held the barricade.
He then drives towards north across Ljubljana. The forces on the ground hear the shots and respond.
24:00, the police intercepts him, forces him out of the car and after a brief firefight kills him.

It was decided that due to the war it was to be announced that it was a JLA terrorist.
