ALBANIA: SHKODRA: TOWN TAKEN BY REBELS

(13 Mar 1997) Natural Sound The insurgency in Albania continued to spread north, east and west Thursday. At least 12 people were killed and a further 50 injured in battles between government forces and rebels. In President Sali Berisha's northern stronghold, rebels overran armories in the town of Shkodra, leaving four dead and at least 20 injured. The town of Shkodra is northern Albania's biggest town. It has become one of the latest towns to be taken by Albania's rebels, who have already conquered the southern third of the country. The insurgents emptied armories in Shkodra Thursday, in a night of mayhem that left four people dead and at least a score wounded, according to hospital officials. The rebellion was the worst so far in President Sali Berisha's northern stronghold. The insurgency in Albania began in the south of the country after high-risk investment schemes collapsed, swallowing the savings of thousands of Albanians. The rebels blame President Berisha's government and are demanding his resignation. Shkodra hospital officials said that two of the dead were military officers. Two of the people hurt were seriously injured, they said. One garrison close to the hospital was attacked and burned by protesters, and at least three other armories in outlying areas were also ransacked and stripped of weapons, said reports from Shkodra.
