The U.S. association with Thaci may also be dangerous for the Balkans as a whole. "The KLA hasn?t abandoned its goal of creating a Greater Albania, and pictures of U.S. officials alongside KLA leaders sends...
Israel killed at least eight and wounded more than 60 Lebanese in attacks on roads and power stations that left Beirut in darkness. Earlier Thursday, a Hezbollah rocket strike killed two civilians in the northern Israel town of Kiryat Shmona.
