| Ex-guerrilla arrested in Macedonia vote violence |
| 2008-06-02 |
| Police arrested a former leader of an ethnic Albanian guerrilla group in connection with Macedonia's election day violence on Sunday in which one person was killed and nine were wounded, a senior government source said. Agim Krasniqi was one of the commanders of the Albanian National Army in a 2001 rebellion and remained active as the leader of an armed group after peace was brokered by the West. In the last election he ran for office as part of the Democratic Party of Albanians, one of the two parties contesting the vote of Macedonia's Albanian minority. |

| #2 Greeks don't recognize the name "Macedonia," because they claim the residents are Slavs, not Greek. As for the Albanians, yet again we run into a case where Muslims invoke right of self-determination when they are a minority. When they are a majority, they invoke territorial integrity to justify oppression of minorities. Makes sense to a moron. |
