Ex-guerrilla arrested in Macedonia vote violence

SKOPJE (Reuters) - Police arrested a former leader of an ethnic Albanian guerrilla group in connection with Macedonia's election day violence on Sunday in which one person was killed and nine were wounded, a senior government source said.

Agim Krasniqi was one of the commanders of the Albanian National Army in a 2001 rebellion and remained active as the leader of an armed group after peace was brokered by the West.

In the last election he ran for office as part of the Democratic Party of Albanians, one of the two parties contesting the vote of Macedonia's Albanian minority.
