[Regnum] Law enforcement agencies have detained a suspected accomplice in the terrorist attack at the Israeli embassy in Belgrade, the country's Interior Minister Ivica Dacic announced on June 29. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose words are quoted on the website of his department, clarified that the detainee’s name is Igor Despotovic and he was born in Belgrade in 1999. According to Dacic, the alleged accomplice in the attack was previously brought to administrative responsibility. The minister noted that the detainee contacted the terrorist every day, which is why security forces began to suspect his involvement in the attack. As Regnum reported, on June 29 in Belgrade, a man with a crossbow in his hands shot at a gendarme who was guarding the Israeli embassy building. The law enforcement officer was wounded in the neck, but was able to neutralize the criminal using his service weapon. The attacker subsequently died. The injured gendarme was hospitalized for surgery to remove the arrow. Later, Ivica Dacic said that the incident at the embassy in Belgrade was classified as a terrorist attack.
