The bus, traveling from the city of Nis in Serbia to the Serb-majority town Podujevo in Kosovo was attacked shortly after it crossed the boundary into the troubled province, said Lt. Neil Tomlin, spokesman for British troops stationed in Kosovo. Ambulances were seen rushing from the scene of the explosion. No other details were immediately available. Kosovo has been the scene of violent attacks by ethnic Albanian militants against the province's dwindling minority of Serbs ever since the United Nations and a NATO-led peacekeeping force took over following the pullout of the Yugoslav army.
