Interior minister Gordana Jankulovska told reporters late Saturday that the police casualties occurred during a sweep operation in Diva Naselba, a neighborhood in western Kumanovo. Police had come under attack from automatic guns and bombs.
A weeping Jankulovska described the five slain police officers as "heroes who gave their lives today for the Republic of Macedonia."
She added that the "terrorist group," which had entered Macedonia from an unspecified neighboring country, planned to "use the current political situation to perform attacks on state institutions."
Jankulovska said more than 20 members of the armed group had surrendered, but added that the police operation is still ongoing because other attackers have refused to give up.

“Ethnic Albanians”
It just keeps happening.
Sometime I wonder if Obama thinks a horrific ISIS attack will give him Martial law power that he wants.
Macedonia is one of those countries that all its neighbors dislike for one reason or another.
Thanks.
It does appear that the terrorists have been identified as “Macedonian Albanians.” At least it sounds like ethnic grievances rather than Islamic jihadism...not that that helps the dead policemen.

“Macedonian Albanians” are muzzies.
Try Albania.
The attackers are all moslems from Kosovo. Helped by their moslem friends in macedonia.
Not all of them. Mother Teresa was a Macedonian Albanian.
