who is to blame?

These two days have been very shocking in Albania. And as the situation is calming down people are trying to find out who is to blame for the tragedy that just happened. 250 people are injured and up to now 9 people have died. However many more are considered missing, they might be dead or hiding in some of the old communist bunkers. A lot of people blame the government for this situation that allowed a military base to be built so close to an inhabited area.

Others blame an american company that was contracted to help train people to do the dismatlning of obsolete munition. However many witnesses who were interviewed said that people didnt recieve any trainning to work there. The company would put announcements in the villages around and people would start to work. Usually very poor people and the salary was ridiculously low, 150 $ per month. Workers were both male and female. Female workers did the opening of the cases with ammunition and male would do the transportion. Teen agers might have been working there too.

Houses have been destroyed; very poor people who are left homeless and have been evacuated in other areas. So it's a huge mess.
