Churches attacked in Kosovo


KFOR officials say unidentified attackers have destroyed a Serb school chapel in the southern Kosovo town of Prizren by exploding five anti-tank mines.

No one was injured in the attack on Monday night.

In another incident early yesterday, a French soldier was shot and slightly wounded by a man who was trying to set fire to a church in the northern town of Vucitrn.

A spokesman for the international peacekeepers said the fire was extinguished and soldiers were deployed to guard the church.

Serbian Orthodox Church leaders accuse ethnic Albanians of attacking churches and monasteries across the province in an attempt to drive the Serb minority out.
