KOSOVO POLJE, Serbia (Reuters) - Two Serbs were killed and about 40 people wounded when two grenades exploded in a Kosovo market Tuesday morning, the KFOR international peacekeeping force said.

Four of those hurt in the attack near Kosovo Polje, just south of the capital Pristina, were seriously wounded while the rest sustained minor shrapnel injuries, the Russian military clinic treating the casualties said.

United Nations police have made a number of arrests in connection with the attack, said Captain Emma Sale, a spokeswoman for British forces in Kosovo whose military zone includes the Serb-dominated town.

``This morning there was an attack on a small market place in Bresje (a suburb of Kosovo Polje). Two grenades went off,' Sale said.

KFOR troops and U.N. police sealed off the area around the Serb market, leaving traffic outside the town backed up toward Pristina for several kilometers.

Serbs angry at the attack staged a protest on one road in the Kosovo Polje area, Sale said. ``I understand the situation there is tense,' she added.

No information was immediately available on the ethnic identity of those arrested. It was unclear whether the grenades were thrown by hand or launched from a rifle, Sale said.

Attacks by ethnic Albanians, angry at years of repression by Serb authorities, have plagued the province since KFOR and the U.N. arrived in mid-June.
