In pictures: Death in Tetovo
Tensions are rising in the Macedonian city of Tetovo after two ethnic Albanians, a father and son, were killed by security forces in what has been described as a moment of panic on all sides.
The men's car had been stopped at a police checkpoint. While the father opened the boot for a security check, the son, in the front seat, moved something in his pocket which the security forces say was a grenade. The whole scene was captured on camera.
