UN pulls out of Kosovo flashpoint

Religious symbols are bearing the brunt of the violence

UN staff have been pulled out of the flashpoint town of Mitrovica in Kosovo where two days of inter-ethnic clashes have left 31 dead.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said the decision had been taken in view of the worsening security situation.

Iraq violence claims more lives

The Baghdad hotel bombing has been followed by another day of violence

A car bomb has exploded in Basra as violence in Iraq shows no sign of letting up a day after a big car bomb destroyed a Baghdad hotel.

The explosion, which happened as a UK military patrol was passing, killed four civilians but it is not clear if one was the bomber.

Mortar attacks, one near the Syrian border and another at a base north of Baghdad, killed three US troops.
