NATO Boosts Patrols After Kosovo Attack
North Atlantic Treaty Organization peacekeepers increased patrols in a Kosovo village a day after nine Serbian children were injured in a grenade attack. The attack came just hours after an explosion in Pristina, the provincial capital, injured one woman and damaged several political offices. Flight Lt. Tim Serrell-Cooke, a spokesman for British peacekeepers, said three occupants of a vehicle hurled the grenades into a basketball court in the village of Crkvena Vodica, northwest of Pristina. Two men were questioned, Serrell-Cooke said. Villagers stoned a car carrying ethnic Albanians, but no injuries were reported. NATO’s air war last year forced an end to a deadly Serbian crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
