... that instead of surrendering, Oso Kuka blew up himself and his enemies?

I'm confused by these two sentences, could you please clarify (they are both referenced by the offline source). James086^Talk 20:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

"secondary tower in front of the tower" - what is "the tower"? Is it a main tower in the fort?
"while that in Vranjina is a local landmark" - I'm not sure what this means.
ALT1: *... that instead of surrendering to a Montenegrin army, Oso Kuka killed himself in a suicide attack?

It's a defensive tower of secondary importance like the outlying ones in star forts. His house is a local geographic landmark of the island as in "when you reach Kuka's house, turn left". He attacked the Montenegrin army, there was no Ottoman contingent involved.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 19:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Is this edit I made correct? diff Just for clarity when reading. Also, does this mean he had 2 houses, one in Shkodër and one on the island of Vranjina? James086^Talk 13:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes it's quite correct and he had two houses.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 18:32, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

In that case it's good to go. I also made this change to make that a little clearer. James086^Talk 14:32, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
