MACEDONIAN POLICEMEN INSPECT REMAINS OF CAR AND BODY FOLLOWING EXPLOSION IN KUMANOVO, 2002-12-25 (photo)

Macedonian policemen, members of a bomb squad, examine the remains of a car and body following an explosion in Kumanovo some 30 km North-west from Skopje December 25, 2002. Separate bomb attacks in Macedonia and neighbouring Kosovo killed two men and injured several other people on Wednesday, authorities said. The first bomb exploded near a school in the northern city of Kumanovo, killing one man and injuring four other adult passers-by. A Macedonian police spokesman said children in the school at the time of the blast were not injured. Kumanovo was on the front lines during an ethnic Albanian insurgency last year that almost plunged Macedonia into all-out civil war. REUTERS/Ognen Teofilovski OT/JDP
