PRISTINA, Rabi'I 4, 1436, Dec 26, 2014, SPA -- Kosovo police have arrested a Serbian national suspected of planning a terrorist attack, the interior minister told a news conference on Friday, Reuters reported. The suspect, from Belgrade, was arrested on Thursday evening with 12.2 kilos (27 pounds) of explosives in his car in a street in the Kosovan capital Pristina where many Western embassies are located, Skender Hyseni said. "We suspect the clear aim of this person was to commit a terrorist attack," he told journalists. Kosovo media speculated that possible targets were the embassies of western countries or the Catholic cathedral. Hyseni said he could not reveal details of potential targets because the investigation was still under way. Security is fragile in Kosovo, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 following a 1998-99 war in which NATO warplanes bombed Serbia. Some 5,000 NATO troops remain stationed in the new country. -- SPA 20:43 LOCAL TIME 17:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
