	Washingtonpost.com: Pristina Police Station Holds Tools of Torture
		Residents of Pristina, the Kosovo capital, said police packed hundreds of people into the building in mid-May. For three days and nights, they said, screams of pain and terror came from the four-story building, forcing many in the neighborhood to retreat to the back rooms of their apartments to block out the sound.
		Pristina residents, some of whom had been detained in the station before the NATO bombing began in late March, said the building was used as an interrogation center from which detainees would either be transferred to one of two jails in the city or released.
		But it was during a three-day period during the NATO airstrikes — May 18 to 20 — that people who live near the station said the fearful atmosphere that always surrounded it turned to one of terror, when as many as 500 people who had been delivered in police wagons were jammed into the basement.
