Fighting continues despite Macedonian peace deal

Sporadic fighting has continued in Macedonia just hours before NATO troops move into the country to help disarm the ethnic Albanian National Liberation Army.

The rebels fired mortars at two police checkpoints overnight in a suburb of the northern city of Tetovo. Mortars were also fired at Macedonian security positions near the town of Kumanovo, while police said the rebels are intimidating Slav civilians into leaving their homes in Tetovo.
