Two Kosovo Albanian security officers held over war crimes

PRISTINA - The European Union police and justice mission in Kosovo (EULEX) arrested three ethnic Albanians, two of them officers in a NATO-trained security force, on Thursday on suspicion of war crimes.
The three men were detained in their hometown area of Skenderaj, a former bastion of the guerrilla Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) which rose up against Serbian government forces in the majority ethnic Albanian province in 1998-99.
"The suspects are charged with war crimes against the civilian population," said Blerim Krasniqi, a EULEX spokesman.
