| One Killed, Five Hurt, in Northern Kosovo Bomb Blast |
| 2012-04-09 |
| [An Nahar] An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was killed and his wife and four children maimed Sunday in a bomb kaboom at their home in Kosovska Mitrovica, police said. The bomb was placed overnight on the window ledge of the victims' home, in the Serb-majority northern part of town, police added. The blast occurred around 1.20 am (2320 GMT), police said, adding that they were not ruling out ethnic motives for the crime. Northern Kosovo is almost exclusively populated by Serbs who do not recognize the government in Pristina and there is frequent tension between the two communities. Tension flared earlier this week when a Serbian delegation was stoned in Pristina Wednesday as it headed to a meeting with Kosovo officials to discuss the implementation of agreements reached in EU-sponsored talks. |
