PROKUPLJE - Two Serbian policemen were killed and six were seriously injured at dawn on Sunday when their vehicle hit an anti-tank mine planted by ethnic Albanian terrorists in south Serbia (Yugoslavia), a police statement said.
The police station in Prokuplje said that terrorists of the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) had attacked a police patrol out of Kursumlija at the village of Prepolac at around 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Reinforcements were immediately sent out to the ambushed patrol.
As the policemen were returning to Kursumlija after a successful intervention, at 6 a.m., their vehicle hit one of two anti-tank mines planted meanwhile by ethnic Albanian terrorists on the Prepolac-Kursumlija road.
An examination of the crime scene established that the mines were from the arsenals of the army of neighbouring Albania, the police statement said.
