Del Ponte's sources on this story are Western journalists who heard of the story, and were told of the yellow house, by people who new of it firsthand.

Could you quote the source for us?

Unfortunately I can't. I'm getting this from snippets of Del Ponte's book which have been released. That's where the sources of the information are quoted, and then she describes the subsequent investigative follow-up.

One thing to note: I read these quotes in English, and Del Ponte's book is not written in English, and the quotes I read were not attributed to any particular translator. I actually don't know where they came from.

Just for the sake of precision, the book was written in English- actually American- and translated into Italian. Feltrinelli is pulling off another literary scoop as it did with Dr. Zhivago. It is coming out in anteprima worldwide in the translated version. It's been in the bookstores for the past week in Italian but will come out in "American" once enough hype has been generated. It is a very lengthy book that touches Carla Del Ponte's entire career.

Really? Wow. Then the articles I was reading were completely half-cocked because they claimed the English translation is not due for awhile. Hard to believe anything these days.

The Telegraph versions are translations from Italian according to the site.

The book, which I have, has written "translated from American." I presume it must be based on tapes and put together in English by the two authors. Del Ponte does speak several languages.
