June 12, 2007 — Serbian police say they have discovered a large cache of bullets and bomb-making material in a southern region bordering Kosovo.
Interior Minister Dragan Jocic says some 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 15 kilograms of explosives were found during a series of raids in the Sandzak, an ethnically mixed region that straddles Serbia and Montenegro and is principally populated by Bosnian Muslims.
Police believe the munitions were intended for “terrorist actions” by Muslim extremists against targets in the region.
In recent months, Serbian police have conducted a number of raids in the area against what they describe as “Wahhabis,” a generic term in the Balkans for Islamic radicals.

“Heist puts schoolkids in crossfire”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “It was an afternoon of terror in an upscale Thornhill neighbourhood yesterday as a gunman fleeing a jewelry store heist opened fire on a cop in a schoolyard and then led police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle with two hostages.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The pursuit continued into a park behind Leo Baeck Day School, a private elementary school for about 530 Jewish students, and that’s when the situation became extremely dangerous.
“During the foot pursuit, the suspect turned and fired a weapon at the officers and one officer returned fire,” Perks said.
Nobody was hurt in the melee but terrified kids, who were outside for gym class, ran for their lives into the school when the gunfire erupted.
Sierra Plachi, 10, was among the 20 or so kids playing soccer when the gunman and police exchanged gunfire nearby. She was still visibly shaken when she was finally able to run out to her mother’s awaiting arms later in the day.
The girl said the man was a few metres away and he appeared to point the silver gun he was carrying at her gym teacher, whom she knows only as Sharitz.
Sierra said the teacher positioned himself between the armed man and his students and yelled at the kids to “run, run, run” inside the school.
“We’re all so proud of him and how brave he was, that he would put our lives ahead of his,” Sierra said, bursting into tears as she became overwhelmed by her emotions.”
