Last night/this morning at approximately midnight, a car bomb exploded outside the Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) headquarters in downtown Pristina. The vehicle, reported to be an Audi 44, was destroyed but there were no injuries. As usual, there is little information available, in fact I didn't even realize that it had occurred until checking up on a friend in Amman who had already heard about it all the way in Jordan! Crazy how we in the mission wouldn't even know about it and someone in another country does!
Also the French Commander of the base located Vucitrn has apologized for the excessive use of tear gas during some exercises with local police. Reportedly, 18 children from Vucitrn and some elderly from villages near Novo Selo were treated in hospital for the effects of tear gas. All are reported to be in good condition now.
