Bomb Blast in Kosovo Kills 2
Monday, September 24, 2007

PRISTINA, Serbia — A powerful blast ripped through several shops in Kosovo's capital early Monday, killing two people and injuring nine others, officials said. While the motive for the attack was unclear, Kosovo's government said it was not related to the U.N.-mediated negotiations on the province's demands for independence from Serbia.

The explosion happened around 2:30 a.m. local time in a shopping mall in the center of Pristina. Police said the blast was caused by an explosive device. All the victims were taken to a hospital, police spokesman Veton Elshani said. One was in critical condition. Initially police reported ten injured, but they later lowered the official toll to nine.
