Anyone care to speculate on this subject?] SKOPJE, March 4 (AFP) - Two soldiers serving with NATO forces in Macedonia were injured Tuesday along with three civilans when an explosive device they were thought to be handling went off unexpectedly, a spokesman said. The soldiers' nationality was not revealed but private television station A1 reported that they were Polish. Craig Ratcliff, a spokesman for international troops serving with the military alliance in the Balkan country said he did not know how serious the injuries were, adding that details surrounding the incident were unclear. "At this point (we think the troops were handling) an explosive device that somebody was trying to get rid of," Ratcliff said. The explosion occurred in the northern region of Kumanovo, he added, describing the incident as serious. NATO forces have been deployed in the former Yugoslav republic since September 2001 after a Western-brokered peace deal ended fighting between Macedonian government forces and ethnic Albanian rebels. A peacekeeping force from the European Union is due to start a tour of duty on the ground in Macedonia this month, the EU presidency has said, spearheading the bloc's first ever such role. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
