Kosovo Foreign Minister 'received death threat from ISIS leader' (AFP)
Kosovo's Foreign Minister and former Premier Hashim Thaci says he received a death threat purportedly from the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) organisation over his opposition to the extremist group.
"It was a death threat against me and my family," Mr Thaci told AFP in an interview on Wednesday.
A Pristina news website this week reported details of a letter addressed to then-prime minister Thaci in late 2014, allegedly signed by ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, calling on him to abandon Kosovo's alignment with the West or face "great revenge".
