Text of report by Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA

Sarajevo, 21 March: Five persons suspected of trafficking weapons, military equipment and planning acts of terrorism have been arrested in Sarajevo, the BiH [Bosnia-Hercegovina] Prosecution has confirmed for SRNA.

Acting on the Prosecution's orders, anti-terror officers from the BiH Federation MUP [Interior Ministry] searched four premises in Sarajevo and two in Bugojno, and arrested five people on suspicion that they were trafficking arms and military equipment, but there is also indication that they were planning acts of terrorism.

The Federation MUP has finished dealing with the suspects and today they are expected to be handed over to the BiH Prosecution for questioning. The Prosecution has 24 hours to decide on whether to remand them in custody.

According to unconfirmed information, all the suspects are Bosnian citizens and members of the Wahhabi radical Islamic movement.

Federation MUP spokesperson Robert Cvrtak has announced that a statement will be issued later on today on this highly risky operation.

The Prosecution and the MUP have declined to reveal the identity of the arrested persons with the explanation that the police action is not over yet.

Terrorist Wahhabis arrested in Bosnia
March 21, 2008
SERBIANNA

Bosnian anti-terror units of the Interior Ministry of Bosnia’s Muslim-Croat Federation arrested 5 people on Friday because of credible evidence that the people were engaged in terrorism and terror related activities. a spokesman for the Ministry confirmed.

Weapons, including mines and other explosive devices, as well as materials for making explosive devices, were found and seized during the operation.

The spokesman did not identify the arrested men because the investigation in the terror link will be ongoing.

However, local media reports that the arrested Bosnian Muslims are from cities of Sarajevo and Bugojno.

The identity of one has been leaked by the media and he is a Bosnian Muslim from Sarajevo who lives on Jukicev street number 61 located in the Bare suburb of Sarajevo.

The house on the Jukicevo 61 in Sarajevo where the arrested Bosnian Muslim terrorist lives.

Neighbors said that the arrested man lives there with a wife and 3 children and that the anti-terror units broke into his living quarters at 6 AM.

“Believe me, I do not know his name,” a neighbor said. “He is a Wahhabi and his wife is covered up. We don’t have contact with him, and we know that one of his children go here to school. How long they’ve been together, what do they live of, no one knows.”

Neighbors say that it took the anti-terror squad about one hour to bring the man out arrested.

Neighbors were afraid to comment any further.

Oh, but he was off "playing polo" last I read -- probably in the garage, with a hobby horse, a golf club and a whiffle ball --and then he suffered a terrible one-foot fall from his hobby horse and rolled into his car bumper. Hasn't gotten up, yet. LOL!

So did Ronly-Bonly Jones, clinton, Hillary, McCain, Holbrooke, and Samantha Power. And all these people said that they had spent time in Bosnia, so knew what they were talking about!!!

But the facts on the ground have falsified all the statements that “there are no BosMus jihadis”, and continue to do so.
