[hightime]

Four Finnish peacekeepers have been shot and wounded after they came under fire from unknown assailants in central Kosovo.


NATO officials said the attack took place on Saturday close to the village of Donja Gusterica, near the town of Lipljan, 30 km east of capital Pristina.

"Our understanding is that four Finnish peacekeepers were slightly injured by single shot from a shotgun during a routine foot patrol," Gerry Cooney, spokesman for the peacekeepers said.

"Six persons have been detained and we are searching for the weapon," Cooney said.
