SKOPJE, Aug 8 (Hina) - Ten Macedonian soldiers were killed Wednesday morning in an ambush of Albanian guerrillas on a road between Skopje and Tetovo, a government official said on Wednesday. He told Reuters the rebels opened the fire
on a military convoy several hours before the expected signing of a truce agreement. Government's spokesman Antonio Milososki labelled the attack as rebels' offensive which disabled the entrance to the second biggest Macedonian city of Tetovo, mostly populated by Albanians. It seems the attack was a revenge for the murder of five Albanians on Tuesday, whom the Defence Ministry accused of being " terrorists" of the National Liberation Army (UCK).(hina) np ms
