CABRA, SERBIA-MONTENEGRO: UN police and KFOR soldiers block all access to the ethnic Albanian village of Cabra, 10km west of the flashpoint city of Kosovska Mitrovica 21 March 2004, where the funeral of two children who have drowned last Tuesday are taking place. Thousands of Kosovars gathered here in silent grief on Sunday to bury two ethnic Albanian children, whose alleged death at the hands of Serb attackers sparked deadly ethnic violence last week. NATO helicopters hovered over the northern village of Cabra, while checkpoints were set up at the entrance to the picturesque village amid fears that the funerals could spark another wave of violence.
