TROPOJA, Aug. 15 – The house, or the ‘tower,’ belonging to the Haklaj family in Kerrnaja village in Tropoja was burnt Monday evening and only its walls remained afterward. There were no people living in it. The Haklaj tower was considered to be centuries old. Police said they had identified no suspect in the crime but the Haklaj family members have put the finger on five names. Aishe Haklaj mentioned names of another family which she said were the most possible suspects. Aishe is the only Haklaj daughter who may move freely. Her sister Zylfie and brother Hamdi are at large. Aishe complained about the police reaction to the news saying they had not behaved in a professional way. The tower was not inhabited as it has earlier been the place of many other attacks.
