“Danish court acquits Bosnia based terror plotters”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “COPENHAGEN, Denmark-A Danish court on Monday acquitted a teenager of involvement in a Bosnia-based terror plot to blow up an unidentified target in Europe.

The ruling by the Eastern High Court in Copenhagen was the second verdict to clear Elias Ibn Hsain in the case.

The 19-year-old Dane of Moroccan origin was acquitted of terror charges last year, but was retried after prosecutors said they found stronger evidence, including digital recordings and bomb manuals on his computer and on a CD-ROM.

However, the Eastern High Court said the new evidence was not enough to link Ibn Hsain to two men convicted in Bosnia of planning a terror attack aimed at forcing foreign troops to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Those two, Swedish national Mirsad Bektasevic and Abdulkadir Cesur, a Turk who had been living in Denmark, were arrested in 2005 when police raided a Sarajevo apartment. Police said they found a “suicide belt” rigged with a powerful homemade explosive device, pistols, ammunition and a videotape outlining how to build a bomb.

Two Bosnians were also convicted in the plot, the exact target of which remains unclear.

Four suspected accomplices were put on trial in Denmark, but only one, Abdul Basit Abu Lifa, was convicted, and sentenced to seven years in prison.”

I found the link in Bulgaria-related web site of all things.

Isn't that something? If the US MSM was proficient in reporting news, there'd be less "entertainment" news and more REAL news. At least the Bulgarians are on their toes and know a real news story when they see it.

Russia to never let anyone put it at odds with Islamic world

Russia will never let anyone “put it at odds with the Islamic world, no matter how somebody or other would want it, and no matter how circumstances would develop in this or other international issue,” the Russian foreign minister said at a summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference here.

“We shall always respect OIC decisions,” he said. “There is no and there can be no systemic or civilizational controversy between us,” Lavrov stressed. “As a multinational and multi-confessional society with centuries-long history, Russia is also part of the Islamic world,” he emphasized.
