KFOR SOLDIERS STAND BESIDE AN APC DURING A ROAD BLOCKADE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PRISTINA,...

KFOR soldiers stand beside an APC during a blockade of the road heading towards the Macedonian capital of Skopje on the outskirts of Pristina February 16, 2001. At least two major roads were closed when Kosovo Serbs erected road blocks to protest over Friday's bomb attack on a bus convoy killing seven Serb civilians. Shortly after the attack, Serb relatives of the dead and injured passengers staged furious protests in and around their home village of Gracanica, where the buses were headed, blocking roads and burning vehicles and property. Seven Serbs were killed and dozens injured on Friday when a bus was blown up by an explosive device in northern Kosovo, international officials said. PEK/WS
