"SERB FAMILIES LOSE NATO COURT BID"

The BBC reports:

Serbian families who tried to sue Germany over a Nato bombing raid have lost their case, a German court ruled.

The 1999 bombing of a bridge at Varvarin, 110 miles (180km) south-east of Belgrade, killed 10 and injured 17.

A total of 35 people sued Germany, saying that although German planes did not take part in the raids, the government held responsibility under its Nato membership.
