THESSALONIKI, Greece - Police in northern Greece say they have 
discovered a cache of weapons believed to have been looted from army 
depots in neighbouring Albania during a 1997 uprising in that country.

A statement Thursday says four automatic rifles, three machine-guns, 14 
grenades, and more than 18,000 bullets were found buried in a remote 
area near Greece's border with Albania.

The weapons, discovered Wednesday, had been covered in grease to prevent 
rust.

The 1997 uprising occurred after the collapse of popular investment 
schemes in post-Communist Albania. Tens of thousands of weapons were 
looted when outraged Albanians overran military bases throughout the 
country.
