Dispute, not terrorism, blamed in Kosovo blast

A personal dispute, rather than terrorism, is apparently what led to an explosion in southern Kosovo over the weekend that injured seven people, a KFOR spokesman said Tuesday.

The incident occurred late Sunday in the town of Prizren, where the NATO-led Kosovo Force has a regional headquarters. While KFOR military officials are assisting in the investigation, the local police have taken the lead, said Turkish army Maj. Vedat Yumsak, a spokesman for Multi-National Task Force – South.

“It had nothing to do with terrorism,” Yumsak said in a telephone interview from Prizren. “It was a domestic explosion.”

The volatile dispute occurred in an establishment identified a few different ways in news reports, from cafe to restaurant to nightclub. But local authorities believe the establishment was as much a brothel as anything else, said Yumsak, confirming several press reports.

There is no indication KFOR was a target in any way, he added.
