GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: In Kosovo, French peacekeepers again clashed with ethnic Albanians in Mitrovica today. Ten people have died in four days of ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province. CNN's Cathy Healy (ph) has our report.</s>CATHY HEALY, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Hundreds of ethnic Albanians pelted NATO-led peacekeepers with stones and bottles Friday in the divided town of Mitrovica. They were venting their anger following the deaths of both ethnic Albanians and Serbs in a recent spate of ethnic violence. The protesters say the peacekeepers have failed to protect them. The French and Italian soldiers used tear gas to scatter the angry crowds. And after meeting with French KFOR officials, Mitrovica's mayor agreed to impose a curfew on the city.</s>MAYOR BAJRAM REXHEPII, MITROVICA, KOSOVO (through translator): I have met the French commander, and it has been agreed that there will be a curfew from 21:00 local time to 05:00 local to stop further violence.</s>HEALY: A rocket attack on Wednesday signaled the beginning of the latest round of violence. Two Serbs were killed when a bus, run by the United Nations high commissioner for refugees, was hit as it traveled through predominantly Albanian areas near Kosovska Mitrovica. The following night, violence broke out in the Serb-controlled side of the city, leaving six people dead. At least four were ethnic Albanians. The Ibar river runs through the heart of Mitrovica. About 9,000 Serbs control the north bank, and 90,000 ethnic Albanians inhabit the south side. Peacekeepers are stationed at two bridges in an effort to keep the two groups apart and to avoid fighting. But thousands of ethnic Albanians live north on the river, on the Serb side. There have been frequent flashes between the two groups since the end of last year's Kosovo conflict. Cathy Healy, CNN, reporting.
