SKOPJE, Macedonia?- Macedonian police say a shootout between police and an armed group near the country's border with Kosovo has left four people dead.
He says the four had been traveling in a van in which authorities found a large amount of weapons and explosives.
Earlier this month, a former ethnic Albanian rebel group, the National Liberation Army, claimed responsibility for another shootout in the border area, which it said killed a Macedonian soldier. The Macedonian government had said nobody had been hurt in that shooting.
The NLA fought a brief war against government forces in 2001.
