An ethnic Albanian man was killed outside his home by a plastic explosive as tensions rise in Kosovo. Andrew Raven reports - 4/8/12



The aftermath of a deadly bombing in Kosovo. One man, a 38-year-old ethnic Albanian, was killed when a home-made bomb went off outside this apartment building in the divided town of Mitrovica.
The blast also injured two of his children. A police spokesman said the bomb was made from a plastic explosive, and investigators are searching for suspects. Mitrovica is home to both ethnic Albanians and Serbs, and conflicts between the two groups are not uncommon. Kosovo proclaimed its independence from Serbia in 2008 and tensions between the two countries have been on the rise recently. Belgrade, which refused to recognise the secession, plans to include its former province in elections next month.
