MITROVICA — NATO placed the Kosovo town of Mitrovica under de facto military law yesterday after riots by a hostile Serbian population killed one U.N. policeman and forced the pullout of U.N. personnel.
The NATO-led peacekeeping force KFOR and the United Nations mission ordered all local Kosovo Serbian police officers to park their patrol cars and suspend normal duties.
With U.N. police withdrawn, the order left French, Belgian and Spanish troops in control of law and order in the northern slice of Kosovo, where Serbs opposed to its Feb. 17 secession from Serbia dominate the population.
