The precedent has been established. But if the current Reichstag Fire Trial II ends in an acquittal as the first did, then another sort of precedent will be achieved.] Overnight Clashes in Macedonia, Army Says SKOPJE, Jul 3, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) Numerous clashes were reported overnight between Macedonian forces and ethnic Albanian guerrillas, notably in the north of the country, the army said Tuesday. At around midnight (2200 GMT Monday), the rebels attacked a police post in Opaje, near Slupcane, their stronghold since early May, army spokesman Blagoja Markovski said. "We have responded in an appropriate manner," he said, without giving any details. He reported a 30-minute exchange of fire in the area near the northern town of Kumanovo. Meanwhile in the northwestern town of Tetovo, automatic weapons fire was heard from the villages of Gajre and Sipkovica, but the shooting was too "minor" to provoke a response from Macedonian forces, he said. Shots were also heard from Nikustak, a village situated to the west. On Monday, clashes were reported around the village of Radusa in the north, between Skopje and Tetovo, for more than three hours. The guerrillas of the National Liberation army (NLA) had taken positions there for several days, with violent clashes been registered in the area after a week of uneasy cease-fire. The army said suspected NLA fighters opened fire Sunday on army positions at Kale, a ruined Turkish fortress on the heights above the northwestern town of Tetevo, killing one soldier. More than 30 soldiers and police have been killed in the conflict. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
