Kosovo police arrested five guards at the Dubrava prison suspected of assisting the escape of seven inmates. “The guards in question are suspected of helping a group of seven prisoners break out of prison Saturday,” KPS spokesman Veton Elshani said Monday. Saudi-born terror suspect among escaped inmates? He added that the KPS continued with the intensive search for the fugitives. “We have already raided three locations in Pristina and Gnjilane, but so far no arrests have been made.” Meantime, Times Online reported Tuesday that among the escapees were Ramadan Shiti, a Saudi-born suspected Islamist terrorist expelled from his native country for allegedly plotting an attack on senior public figures, and Lirim Jakupi, a leader of the rebel Albanian National Army - a group of guerrillas who fight for a greater Albanian state in the Balkans. Nicknamed Commander Nazi, Jakupi was being held over the murder of a Serbian policeman and other attacks. Shiti had been arrested in 2005 by U.S., Polish and Ukrainian forces acting for the UN on an international arrest warrant after an armed break-out earlier that year from a jail in Skopje, the Macedonian capital, where he was held over the murder of a taxi driver. He has also been linked with a bomb attack on a police station in Skopje in 2005. Jakupi has been named on an EU blacklist of dangerous individuals making him subject to a travel ban. Also in the freed group was Xhavid Morina, known as Commander Drenica, also a senior figure in the ANA and allegedly responsible for the murder of two police officers. The paper also said a spokesman for the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office rejected suggestions that the break-out would disrupt further the international search for a solution to Kosovo’s status but said that the incident showed the urgency of progress to end the impasse over its future. He added: “I do not think it is a sign of disruption but it does underline what the United Nations’ own report said back in 2005 that the status quo in Kosovo is unsustainable." "There are provisional institutions of self governance but Kosovo needs to make progress. Resolving the status of Kosovo is the key to the economic issues and law and order issues.”
