Indian Officer Killed in Kosovo, U.N. Says
Gunmen have killed an Indian officer in the first fatal attack on Kosovo’s U.N. police force since the 1999 war, U.N. officials said.
A U.N. spokesman said a police vehicle was ambushed after it apparently was forced to slow down because of rocks lying on the road to the town of Leposavic in the northern part of the province.
“That’s when the shooting started,” he said.
The attack took place in an ethnically mixed region, populated mainly by Serbs but also with some ethnic Albanian villages, U.N. officials said.
They did not yet know who was responsible, or the motive.
