A question for a researcher
On the night of 23 April 1999, during Operation Allied Force in the former Yugoslavia, a NATO strike destroyed the headquarters of Radio Television Serbia, a ‘dual target’ (i.e. used by both civilian and military authorities), in Belgrade. Conflicting reports suggest the target was taken out by an air strike, presumably by British, American, or Canadian fighter-bombers, but other accounts suggest it was a single cruise missile. I am interested in a) ascertaining which is correct, and b) which NATO partner had the honour of doing it.
(Note; in no way is this information sought in order to bring embarrassment or discredit to any of the NATO forces involved, but rather to corroborate or refute its relevance to a completely unrelated event which took place around the same time.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. (On a personal note, one would be particularly delighted to learn the target got zapped by a CF-18 crew.)
