Macedonia: Police ‘neutralise’ armed Albanian fighters

EIGHT police officers and 14 members of an Albanian armed group were killed at the weekend in fighting around the northern Macedonian town of Kumanovo.

Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski said yesterday that 37 other police officers had been wounded in the clashes that started Saturday.

He said that “one of the most dangerous terrorists groups in the Balkans has been neutralised.”

Police said that they had found 14 bodies, some wearing uniforms with insignia of the supposedly disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army but none had ID documents.

Mr Kotevski said the fighters had entered Macedonia at the start of May.
