Serbs clash with UN, NATO in north Kosovo

---

MITROVICA, Mar 17 (Reuters): Hundreds of Serbs in north Kosovo clashed with UN police and NATO peacekeepers Monday in the worst violence in the territory since the Albanian majority declared independence last month.
Riots erupted in the town of Mitrovica after several hundred UN special police backed by French NATO peacekeepers stormed a UN court in the town and arrested dozens of Serbs who had seized the building Friday.
The rioters attacked three UN vehicles, breaking doors and freeing around 10 detainees from the raid, witnesses said.
