LAW-BOSNIA-TERRORISM
Bosnian court accuses Serb, Turk of terrorist acts on foreigners
SARAJEVO, Nov 6 (KUNA) -- A Bosnian court said Sunday it accused a Serb and a Turk of attempting to carry out terrorist attacks against foreigners in Bosnia, the Bosnian radio said.
The attacks were foiled by Bosnian police in cooperation with European forces on October 19. The culprits were arrested and identified as Muslims from different European nationalities.
The radio quoted court spokesman Nenad Cavka as saying the court accussed Mirsad Bektasevic, A Muslim Serb from Sandzak, and Censur Abdulkader, A Turk living in Bosnia, of trying to attack an European embassy and official Bosnian-based west European institutions.
The court is still questioning three others over the same case, while the two accused will remain in custody for another month.
The spokesman said the court was interrogating dozens of Bosnians over the attacks. (end) yr.
This is interesting on several counts, I noted that the Bosnian accused in the case has been let go, and hasn't been named anywhere so far, I think this individual might have been the informant. The other interesting thing is that the earlier information I had indicated that the Turk was a person born in BiH. The other one Mirsad Bektasevic has a pretty typical name for the region, and is from Sandzak. One doesn't hear much about disturbances in Sandzak. The one thing I ever read about disturbances there was an altercation between Muslims with political differences, and didn't involve any Orthodox Serbs. So why is this guy even IN BiH? Seriously!
On the upside, at least there is an effort being made to disrupt terrorist activity in BiH that is from the government. That has to be viewed as progress.
