Kosovska Mitrovica - NATO-led peacekeepers in Kosovo fired tear gas and imposed a curfew yesterday after an eruption of violence between Serbs and Albanians which prompted deep international concern.
The peacekeepers used tear gas and booming percussion grenades to scatter a crowd of several hundred ethnic Albanians in the city of Mitrovica venting their anger after a night of grenade attacks and shootings which left six people dead.
All the killings appeared to have been in Serb-dominated northern Mitrovica.
