Guerrilla memorial torn down

More than 200 police took down a memorial to ethnic Albanian guerrillas in Serbia yesterday, trying to end a row that has highlighted tension in the region.

Security forces cordoned off the main square in the southern, mainly Albanian, town of Presevo, and hauled away the memorial bearing the names of 27 guerrillas who died during an insurgency in the region in 2001.
