BERLIN-German police said Sunday they were holding a Bosnian man over the discovery of about 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of explosives in a cookie tin on a bus traveling from Sarajevo to the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

Customs officers found the TNT on Saturday during a routine check in the German port of Rostock, police said. Prosecutors said they asked a city court to formally arrest the 44-year-old suspect. The man's name wasn't released.

Police temporarily closed the terminal where the bus and its about 50 other passengers were waiting to board a ferry. They were allowed to continue their journey early Sunday after police questioning.

As long as they stay in EUROPE, they can deal with it. Reaping the rewards of a slack-jawed approach to terrorism since 9-11.

Why wasn't anyone willing to stop Bosnia from becoming a terrorist base in the middle of Europe?

Because the Serbs were to be the most harmed, and European and U.S. government, and many of the public, were pleased or unbothered to know Serbs were being tortured, ethnically cleansed and beheaded by these people. A few relatively "minor" incidents in Europe is the price for 100s of thousands of Serbs being run out of Croatia, half of Bosnia and Kosovo and kept out due to the Mujahadeen being settled in formerly purely Serb villages in Bosnia.

Someone *was* willing. They were known as Serbs.

We reclassified the KLA. They aren't terrorists because Bubba said so.

The only guy who was willing to prevent that area from metamorphosing into an Islamic terrorist stronghold is on trial and sitting in one of Hitler's old prisons.

I'm glad you found this in English joan as I saw it in the Swedish newspapers but couldn't find it in English. He has been arrested by the German authorities but because he has a temporary work and residency permit for Sweden, the Swedish authorities will be kept informed on the case. They will also be trying to find out what he was actually doing in Sweden. I'll let you know if I find out anything else in the swedish news about this.

They still think that NATO will act as their air force and bomb anyone who gets in their way.

"They will also be trying to find out what he was actually doing in Sweden."

Isn't there a large Bosnian population in Sweden? Have you ever read in the news there the population statistics?

Two days ago Soros owned B92 had short news regarding “Scorpions” unit.
http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2005&mm=09&dd=09&nav_id=176254

Remember that video showing alleged members of the Scorpions paramilitary unit allegedly abusing and killing six (innocent, peace-loving, western-leaning) Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica?

In case you forget they claimed that video “proved that the Serbian paramilitary police unit called the Scorpions took part in the July 1995 massacre of about 8,000 mainly Muslim males at Srebrenica in neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina.”

First sentence was that Serbian Prosecutor (one Ivana Romic) finished investigation and decided to charge five of those “Scorpions” members for arresting and killing Muslim.
Now, interesting part – those muslim were from village of TRNOVO and alleged killings took place there. Trnovo is, BTW, some 160 km from Srebrenica.

Second sentence was “killing of six muslim in Srebrenica was recorder on video…"

Of course, media outlets that were so fast to accuse Serbs are now absolutely silent. You can not find one newspaper reporting this.

It is almost surreal! They are watching you straight in the eye and they are lying.
