eurasia review

As students in Pristina lit candles to commemorate the victims, Kosovo’s leaders on Wednesday (March 2nd) condemned a shooting incident at Frankfurt Airport that left two US airmen dead and injured two others.
Arid Uka, a 21-year-old who is reported to be a Frankfurt Airport employee, allegedly opened fire on a bus carrying the airmen. German prosecutors say they are looking into Islamic extremism as a possible motive, and media reports indicated the gunman may have shouted religious slogans before launching his attack.
Uka has family connections to Kosovo — reports say that Uka’s grandfather was from the village of Zhabar, near Mitrovica.
Kosovo President Behgjet Pacolli expressed his “deep sorrow” over the incident, and extended his condolences to the American people, army, authorities and the families of the victims.
“The people of Kosovo condemn in the harshest terms this evil, individual act … carried out against people in a military uniform who had an essential role in Kosovo’s liberation, against the army which has a key role in preserving security and stability all over the world,” he said in a press release.
