Kosovska Mitrovica, 2 October: Members of the terrorist Albanian National Army (ANA) (AKSh in Albanian) have been spotted late at night on several roads, stopping vehicles and controlling passengers' documents, reliable international sources in the province have said.

According to the same sources, two such cases were reported to the international police last week.

Members of ANA have been noticed along roads near Kosovska Kamenica and the Kosovska Mitrovica-Srbica, Srbica-Klina, Pec-Kula, Suva Reka-Dulje-Stimlje roads.

They are wearing uniforms with ANA insignia, the source said and added that they controlled these roads between 2000 (1800 gmt) and dawn.

ANA members are blamed for a series of incidents in Kosovo over the past month, including the opening of sniper fire at a UN police vehicle on 10 September near the village of Dudin Krs on the Kosovska Mitrovica-Zvecan road.

Former UNMIK (UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo) Michael Steiner had declared ANA a terrorist organization after two of its members tried to blow up the bridge in the village of Loziste in Zvecan municipality. The two ANA members were killed in the blast on the bridge.
