DALLAS (CNN) -- Hundreds of ethnic Albanians rallied in Dallas on Thursday to show their support for the NATO mission.

They carried Albanian and American flags as well as banners and signs supporting the Kosovo Liberation Army.

One protester held a sign calling Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic the "Criminal of the Century," while another described him as "evil."
