Adding the actual report from the link -
"Soldiers killed by NATO rifle | 13:06 November 11 | B92
BELGRADE -- Thursday – Two soldiers killed at an army installation in Topcider last month were shot from a SAR-21 rifle, as used by NATO, Glas Javnosti writes today.
The SAR-21 is made in Singapore and uses 5.56 mm ammunition, which completely proves that a third person was involved in the shooting, claims the Belgrade daily.
Glas adds that this information completely rules out the murder-suicide version of events because the two sentries were armed with M70 AB rifles, which use 7.62 mm ammunition.
The SAR 21 is an extremely powerful automatic assault rifle, used by most NATO member countries, but in Serbia-Montenegro can only be found on the black market, writes Glas Javnosti. "
I find this hard to believe that the SAR21 is already on the black market, considering the news report is dated 2004.
Edit - The report should read - 5.56mm round used by most NATO countries.
Also, if they do suspect a Singapore made firearm - could be the old SAR80.
