Four people were injured in the two incidents, including two Gendarmerie members, and a woman and a boy, both ethnic Albanians. According to preliminary reports, Jakupi's group only wanted to show that they were still active, but also to draw Gendarmerie members into a broader campaign that would cause the local Albanian population to revolt. Jakupi was last heard of in summer 2007, when he escaped from the custody of Macedonian police at Sar mountain at the Serbian-Macedonian border.
