From Times Wire Reports

French peacekeepers in northwestern Kosovo clashed for a second straight day with ethnic Albanians in a divided city. The latest confrontation broke out after the ethnic Albanians tried to push their way across a bridge to the Serb-controlled side of Kosovska Mitrovica. It was the fourth day of violence in the city since a rocket attack on a U.N. bus killed two elderly Serbs. Thirty-six people, including six French soldiers, were injured in the latest clash. Multinational peacekeeping troops deployed in Kosovo--a province of Serbia, the dominant Yugoslav republic--have been struggling to restore order in the city.
