Terror attack planed in Bosnian Muslim town
September 27, 2008
Bosnian Muslim intelligence agency OSA has confirmed that it is on a hunt for two Islamic terrorists after German security agency informed them that they are preparing a terror attack.
Erik Brayninger and Hussein al Mali have been seen in a Bosnian Muslim town of Zenica.
"We have certain knowledge that these two individuals have probably moved into Bosnia. We are checking these facts, trying to locate them and see if they are still in Bosnia," said the statement by OSA.
German media has reported, based on police intelligence, that Erik Brayninger and Hussein al Mali have been trained in suicide attack strategies in Afghanistan and are planning a terror attack on Germany from a Bosnian town of Zenica.
"We have information that Brayninger and his friend Hussein al Mali and another individual are on the way to Germany," said the spokesman for the GErman police as it issued an arrest warrant.
Bosnian town of Zenica has a vast domestic islamist network with its own airport through which Jihadists came into Bosnia during the 1990s. The airport was built with help of a Bosnian Muslim Imam Cengic.
Bosnian state police said that it has no information that these two terrorist individuals are in Bosnia.
Spokesman for the federal Bosnian police, Robert Cvrtak, said that the federal police cannot talk about the case.
"We cannot talk about operational intelligence. Details of movement and location of the suspects, and the information we exchange with our colleagues across the world are operational intelligence," said Cvrtak.
Police chief for the city of Zenica, Senaid Hasic, said that they have no knowledge about these two terrorists.
