Anti-NATO protesters in Macedonia attack embassy

<< SKOPJE, Macedonia (Reuters) - Police fired teargas and chased hundreds of anti-NATO protesters through central Skopje on Thursday after a crowd attacked the U.S. embassy and other sites to protest at NATO attacks on Yugoslavia.

Witnesses said explosions and small arms fire could be heard and police helicopters clattered overhead. Protesters were driven away from the U.S. Embassy after pulling down its perimeter fence and torching cars parked nearby.

At least two large detonations were heard during the rioting just after dusk in the Macedonian capital. Witnesses closer to the rioting said the blasts could have been gas canisters or exploding fuel tanks.

Police cordoned off government buildings and those of Western organizations after driving the rioters away from the U.S. embassy.

The rioters smashed and threw stones at cars and any other property with an obvious connection to Western interests.

Anti-Western feeling flared up in Skopje Thursday after the overnight airstrikes on neighboring Serbia designed to force Belgrade to accept an international peace plan for Kosovo. >>

Hi lorne,

Who knows where all this leads? ... I saw an interesting clip yesterday where a Serb family was showing pictures of Ms. Albright as a child from when they hid and sheltered her and family members from the Germans during the second world war ... They weren't very happy.
