THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The prosecutor of alleged war crimes in the 1998-99 Kosovo conflict vowed on Thursday to work "fairly, vigorously and without fear" in an investigation which could implicate some of the country's top politicians.

In his first news conference after being named to the job this month, David Schwendiman said it was too early to rule in or out any suspects.
