Macedonia's peace process plunged into crisis when three policemen were reported killed in fighting with ethnic Albanians enraged by arrests of kinfolk in a sudden sweep by special forces over truce lines.
Ultra-nationalist Interior Minister Ljube Boskovski sent in special forces ostensibly to secure a "mass grave" site said to contain executed Macedonians by guerrilla captors during the seven month uprising, but also began arresting former guerrillas despite a government vow of amnesty.
