Assassination attempt on former Rinas chief

BREAKING NEWS Fatmir Meta and a friend of his are wounded. The former head of Rinas and the Tropojë police station fell into an ambush at a place called Bërnylli. The incident took place last night at 21:45. Meta was travelling by car together with one of his men when several people emerged from a hiding place and emptied [?] their magazines at the former police officer. According to Tirana director Mit’hat Havari, who went to the scene immediately, the health of the two wounded men is not life-threatening.

There is still no information about the motives or perpetrators of the attack, but one of the most likely leads is Meta’s last position, head of [?] Rinas, one of the major bases for clandestine trafficking.
