One dead, five injured in Albanian rebel in-fighting
in Macedonia
  
[The UCK-NLA terrorists involved in this incident are
no doubt among those officially disarmed by NATO last
year, and may be some of those escorted by U.S. NATO
forces deployed from Kosovo to rescue them from
Macedonian security forces in Aracinovo, with all
their weapons left in their possession, under a plan
engineered by former NATO head Javier Solana. They may
well be among those recently granted blanket amnesty
on the orders of NATO Secretary General George
Robertson and former U.S. Balkans Envoy James Pardew.
In the name of conducting the 'war on terrorism.']
  


One man was killed and five others injured when rival
ethnic Albanian rebel fighters clashed late Monday in
the village of Mala Recica, near the flashpoint town
of Tetovo in northwestern Macedonia, diplomatic
sources said.

The fighting was between members of the Albanian
National Army (ANA) and the National Liberation Army
(NLA), which officially disbanded last year, the
diplomatic sources in Skopje told AFP early Tuesday.

Tetovo police sources said the incident happaned
before midnight on Monday and that an investigation
into the killing had begun.

Hospital sources in Tetovo told AFP confirmed that one
man had been killed and said that two injured men were
treated for gunshot wounds.

The rebel National Liberation Army launched an
insurgency last year in what it said was a bid to
improve the rights for ethnic Albanians, who make up
almost one third of the country's two million people.

The government and the rebels signed a peace agreement
last August, and the country's constitution was
changed in November offering the minority population
more rights.

Early this month an amnesty law was introduced to
pardon "all those linked with the crisis".

Skopje, accused the rebels of trying to unite
northwestern Macedonia with the neighbouring Yugoslav
republic of Kosovo, which is largely ethnic-Albanian.
