Kosovo Shell Kills 11 Members of Family

Fourteen members of the Asllani family were packed on a tractor-trailer headed out of the village of Grape, near Pristina, when a grenade exploded Wednesday, according to a group in the embattled province. Visiting Assistant Secretary of State Julia V. Taft said the Serbian government had agreed to set up aid distribution centers across the province.
