PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro-Police in Kosovo arrested an ethnic Albanian man wanted on murder charges for the death of a man in London in 2002.

The suspect, identified as Luan Goci, 30, was arrested Friday in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, police said in a statement issued over the weekend.

Goci, who is now detained and awaiting extradition proceedings to Britain, is a suspect in a killing in east London in October 2002, police said. The Metropolitan Police Web site identified the victim as Pierre Carnus.

Kosovo is legally a province of Serbia-Montenegro, the union that replaced Yugoslavia. It has been run by a United Nations mission since mid-1999.
