Are you surprised?

No, they're on high alert in Kosovo lately because of a 'specific threat'.

They've just put a high concrete wall around "the local Blue Helmet HQ" to be safe from the KLA's wrath. See the above photo.

Interesting that the UN can build all the walls they want, but Israel? Not a chance. Makes me wonder if the Un vehicles were loaded with the explosives..........
That was supposed to be a terrorist plan, to load up ambulances, police cars with bombs and slip into rescue zones to create more hell on earth.
