The VJ continued pursuing remnants of the rebel group for most of December 15, and foreign reporters noted shelling near the ambush site through much of the day.[1] After mediation by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Yugoslav authorities handed the bodies of 33 militants over to the KLA for burial.[27] The militants were given heroes' funerals in the rebel-held village of Poljance, on a field dubbed the "Tomb of Heroes",[3] about 61 kilometres (38 mi) northwest of Pristina.[4] The funerals were attended by several thousand Albanians, including about 500 militants.[18]
