Adem Jashari

Adem Jashari (Albanian: Adem Jashari, Serbo-Croatian: Adem Jašari, Адем Јашари; 28 November 1955 – 7 March 1998) is considered to be one of the chief architects of the Kosovo Liberation Army, along with Zahir Pajaziti. Jashari was a chief commander in the Drenica operation zone of the KLA.

In July 1997 a Yugoslav court had convicted him in absentia of terrorist actions in a trial condemned by international human rights groups. He was killed in March 1998, along with most of his extended family, when Yugoslav security forces laid siege to his home in Prekaz.
