Blasts Go Off at Kosovo Police Station
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro - Explosions
damaged two police stations in Kosovo in simultaneous attacks, a
U.N. police spokesman said Saturday. No one was injured.
The attacks late Friday targeted Pristina police stations manned
by both U.N. and local police, spokesman Al Garcia said. No motive
was known, and police had no suspects, he added.
The blasts broke windows at both stations and damaged at least
one U.N. police car.
Kosovo's police stations were put on alert because of the
attacks, Garcia said. An investigation was underway.
Kosovo has been run by the United Nations (news

sites) since 1999, when the military alliance bombed Serb troops
loyal to former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic (news

sites) to stop their crackdown on independence-minded ethnic
Albanians.
About 4,500 U.N. police officers and 5,500 local officers provide
everyday security in the province.
