A bomb disposal team carried out a controlled explosion on a car containing a suspect package in the courtyard of the headquarters of Kosovo's UN mission in Pristina on Wednesday. 

British peacekeepers at the scene told AFP that the explosion had been carried out after a suspect device was spotted in the wheel-arch of a vehicle in the building's central courtyard. 

The device was discovered at around 5:00 am (04h00 GMT) and the explosion carried out at 10:00 am, an AFP reporter at the scene said. 

There was no initial confirmation that a bomb was inside the car – PRISTINA (AFP)
