| A UN police officer has died from injuries sustained during violent clashes in Kosovo, it was announced today, while French Nato troops fired into the air to prevent further disturbances. The Ukrainian officer was one of hundreds of riot police, backed by Nato helicopters and armoured vehicles, deployed in the Serb-dominated north of the Albanian-majority province. A police spokesman said the Ukrainian died from injuries caused by a hand grenade thrown during yesterday's clashes in the town of Mitrovica. |
