Both the AFP & BBC are reporting on an explosion early this morning in Prishtina, Kosovo's capital. Two people were killed, one immediately and the other from their wounds. At least ten others were wounded. VOA is reporting that the explosion occurred on Bill Clinton Boulevard, a major street in the capital.
This bombing reminds me of one that happened in 2003 (?) which also occurred on Bill Clinton Blvd. That one happened much earlier in the evening, around 10 PM and was easily heard at our home in Prishtina.
No details on the type of explosive or the motive are yet known. The previous bombing on this road was "business," not politics. I'm speculating, but I'm guessing that this is "business" as well. In the past, most of the politically motivated bombings have targeted UN facilities in another part of town.
