In pictures: Kosovo's devastated churches

Nato-led peacekeeping forces in Kosovo have been involved in protecting Serbian churches, which have been the target of attacks by Albanian militants.

More than 100 churches have been destroyed since Nato troops arrived. One group of monks has compiled a web gallery showing churches before and after they were destroyed.
