| Bosnia Arrests Syria Jihad Suspect |
| 2015-04-16 |
[AnNahar] Police in Bosnia on Wednesday locked away... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... a man on terrorism charges for allegedly meeting with Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadists in Syria. The suspect, named as Kenan Krso, was suspected of "several activities linked with terrorism," a front man for the public prosecutor's office told news hounds. "The suspect stayed for a brief period in Syria," front man Boris Grubesic added. "He met there members of the (ultra-conservative Islamist) Wahhabi movement, who are fighting within the ranks of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, and with whom he stayed in contact" after returning to Bosnia, Grubesic said. The front man did not say whether the suspect himself took up arms. Krso, 39, was already arrested in February while walking in downtown Sarajevo dressed in a T-shirt with the Islamic State insignia. A month earlier he caused a scene at a Sarajevo mosque, accusing its moderate imam of telling "lies." Bosnia last year passed a law imposing sentences of up to 20 years in jail for convicted jihadists and their recruiters. Some 200 Bosnians are believed to have traveled to Middle Eastern battlegrounds, according to the intelligence services. A radical Moslem holy man, Husein Bosnic, went on trial in January accused of inciting faceless myrmidons to travel to Syria and Iraq. Last week, Bosnian prosecutors charged four men with planning to join Islamic State in Syria and with organizing travel to the conflict zone. Bosnia's Moslems make up 40 percent of the country's 3.8 million inhabitants. The vast majority practise a moderate form of Islam. |
