PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) -- U.N. police released a Dutch doctor on Wednesday, two days after she was detained on suspicion of baby trafficking in Kosovo.

Police also freed an ethnic Albanian doctor who has been suspected of falsifying a birth certificate, U.N. spokesman Andrea Angeli said.

Police detained the Dutch doctor, who works with a non-governmental organization, after she was found with a 3-week-old baby, U.N. police said. She claimed to be the infant's mother, they said.

The international prosecutor dealing with the case ordered that both women be released, Angeli said. Police did not release the names of either doctor.

No details were available on the baby.
