After the attack on the US embassy, a warning was issued. But what will the West really do if there is no stopping the violence?
BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serb rioters enraged by Kosovo's secession stormed the U.S. embassy in Belgrade and set it on fire, leaving one person dead and drawing swift condemnation from Washington and the U.N. Security Council.
The U.S. State Department said the lack of protection for its mission -- police were absent when the attack began -- was intolerable and demanded a response from the Security Council.
"The members of the Security Council condemn in the strongest terms the mob attacks against embassies in Belgrade, which have resulted in damage to embassy premises and have endangered diplomatic personnel," the 15-member body said in a unanimous statement late on Thursday.
