Kosovo peace keeper out of hand
Kinky video footage of a UN peace-keeping soldier pleasuring himself while on duty has sparked a furious ethnic row in war-torn Kosovo.
The French trooper was apparently filmed masturbating in his official car as a woman passed by while he was on patrol duty in the capital, Pristina.
But the footage - filmed on a mobile phone - has infuriated ethnic Serbians who object to the UN presence in the state, once part of Yugoslavia.
Hundreds of thousands of people are understood to have viewed the film before it was removed from the website of local daily newspaper Alo after outrage from the public.
"He masturbates while Serbs die in Kosovo," one local Serb told the paper.
And Serbian politician Milan Ivanovic said: "Such behaviour is the worst way of disrespecting the Serbs in Kosovo."
A spokesman for KFOR - the NATO peace-keeping force - declined to comment to Alo on the incident.
