Kosovo hit by bombs

The capital of Serbia's United Nations-administered province of Kosovo has been rocked by three explosions near international institutions, claiming no victims but sparking fears of instability before discussions this year on the final status of Kosovo.

The bombings, which no one has claimed responsibility for, occurred during a visit by the UN Secretary-General's special envoy, Kai Eide. A first explosion went off outside the UN mission, followed rapidly by two others at the Parliament building and a European agency.
