Kosovo cuts water supplies after ISIL ‘posion’ plot


Authorities in Kosovo have cut off water supplies to tens of thousands of people in the capital Pristina after an alleged plot by supporters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group to poison supplies.

Officials from the city’s water board said supply was cut early on Saturday “because of security issues” and that supplies had been tested for suspicious substances.

Al Jazeera Balkans reported that the tests carried out by the Kosovo Institute for National Health had detected no sign of toxic content.

The move follows the arrest of five people linked to ISIL, who were accused of planning to poison a reservoir, according to a news agency.
