Swiss Charity: Worker Killed 3

LUCERNE, Switzerland (AP) - A Swiss charity said Monday that one of its
local workers in Kosovo killed three people in a row over construction
supplies being used to rebuild a village.

Caritas Switzerland said it has temporarily suspended its operations in
Loznica, a village near the provincial capital Pristina, after the representative,
who wasn't identified, shot a father and two sons Friday.

Two of them were killed immediately while one of the sons died on the way
to hospital in Pristina, the charity said. The representative, whose job was to
assign building supplies to villagers, was arrested.

The Swiss branch of the Roman Catholic aid agency Caritas is involved in
rebuilding programs in another 15 Kosovo villages. Activities outside Loznica
will continue, it said.

Kosovo, which formally remains part of Serbia, the larger Yugoslav republic,
has been run by NATO and the United Nations since NATO bombing last
year forced Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to pull out his troops
and cede day-to-day control of the province.
