Ex-KLA Leader Hurt in Kosovo Shootout

A former Kosovo Liberation Army commander was wounded in a shootout with supporters of an ethnic Albanian political rival in the Yugoslav province, witnesses and sources said. Ramush Haradinaj was traveling before dawn with a relative, Daut Haradinaj, when the two were attacked in the Kosovo village of Streoce, said sources in Haradinaj’s political party, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo. Details of the gun battle were in dispute, but the incident raises concern about political violence within the ethnic Albanian community. Ramush Haradinaj, a former KLA commander-turned-politician, was taken to the U.S. military hospital at Camp Bondsteel, where he was listed in stable condition.
