Arms cache found after ethnic Serb gunmen storm village in Kosovo

Incident that left police officer and four attackers dead marks one of gravest escalations in violence for years

Kosovan authorities say they have recovered a large cache of arms after ethnic Serb gunmen stormed a village in the restive north at the weekend, battling police and barricading themselves into a monastery.

We can easily say that the equipment was destined for several hundred other assailants," the interior minister, Xhelal Svecla, said on Monday.
