Kosovo Clash

I sent previous articles about the crisis in Kosovo here http://brianleesblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/world-news-and-prophecy-kosovo.html and here http://brianleesblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/kosovo-serbs-villian-or-victim.html pointing out that this place was where World War I began and where the Turks used as a springboard to begin conquering into Europe during their Jihad. The first article above was from our church's website itself, pointing out the relevence of it to us. Anyway, I wanted to send a short article about what is happening in that region as of now and as things continue so we can remember that peace can only come when the Prince of Peace returns.

Kosovo: 70 Injured In Northern Kosovo Clash
March 17, 2008 1508 GMT
About 70 people are hospitalized in Mitrovica, Kosovo, on March 17 after ethnic Serbs clashed with police in the country’s north, RIA Novosti reported, citing Serbian media. Fifteen of the victims are in serious condition, and two with severe injuries were transported to Belgrade. Former U.N. court employees, who lost their jobs when Kosovo became a U.N. protectorate in 1999, occupied the court building March 14. The March 17 clashes occurred when U.N. police and troops from NATO’s Kosovo Force (KFOR) stormed the building. Eight French KFOR soldiers, 13 Ukrainian officers from the U.N. police, and 23 Polish policemen were injured in the clash.
