KOSOVSKA MITROVICA -- Members of the Kosovo police, KPS, last night arrested an ethnic Albanian in the northern part of the divided town of Kosovska Mitrovica.

The man was carrying a hand grenade at the time of the arrest, it was announced.

Police chief in northern Kosovska Mitrovica Milija Milošević told Tanjug that the suspect was spotted in the Bošnjačka Mahala neighborhood, and that "a hand grenade and spray" were found on him.

KPS announced that he would be interviewed and released.

Immediately before this incident, the same neighborhood saw a verbal showdown between members of the KPS described as "special police" and a Serb family.

Police entered the home of the Rajčićs, internally displaced persons from Metohija, to search for weapons.

Tanjug learned from the KPS sources that no arms were found. Igor Rajčić was taken to a police station and released later.

This Kosovo Serb told the news agency that police arrived at his home because the music was played loudly, as a religious holiday was celebrated. He said police told him the reason for their arrival was that "one of the members of the household had fired from a weapon".

"They forced the gate violently and tried to drag my father out. Then they used the spray. We have no weapons in the house, nor did any of us fire from a weapon," Rajčić said.
