Macedonia Minister's Car Ambushed

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) - Gunmen ambushed a car carrying Macedonia's interior 
minister and several Macedonian journalists Sunday evening, but the car was 
able to evade the gunfire and no one was injured, officials said. 

The attack happened at about 6 p.m. on the main highway linking Skopje, the 
capital, to Tetovo, Macedonia's second-largest city. Interior Minister Ljube 
Boskovski, accompanied by journalists with state-run television, was trying 
to visit returning refugees when the attack took place. 

Gunfire rang out from both sides of the highway as the car was near the 
village of Grupcin. The ambush happened as key government and ethnic Albanian 
leaders were engaged in peace talks in the southwestern city of Ohrid. 

In a statement, Boskovksi blamed the attack on ethnic Albanian rebels 
fighting an insurgency, and he called on ``the police and the army to 
establish control over the entire Macedonian territory.'' 

``Not a single smart man can trust terrorists any longer,'' the statement 
said. ``We have to prepare and be ready to regain lost territory.''
