According to Albanian journalists, villages near the ambush site remained sealed off by Yugoslav forces for the remainder of the day.[1] Within hours of the ambush, the KLA vowed revenge.[24] That evening, suspected KLA gunmen entered a Serb-owned café in Peć and opened fire on the patrons, killing six Serb youths.[3] Western diplomats suspected that the attack was carried out by the KLA in retribution for the ambush.[22] The KLA denied responsibility; the journalist Tim Judah suggests that the attack may have been carried out by a rogue unit.[25] The shooting appalled foreign emissaries, and at a meeting with Milošević the following day, Holbrooke condemned it as an act of terrorism and described the situation in Kosovo as "very grave". Milošević issued a separate statement accusing the international community of failing to prevent attacks on Serb civilians, stating: "The terrorist gangs have not ceased attacking the army, the police, and inhabitants of Kosovo."[26]
