Bosnian court indicts three on terrorism charges

SARAJEVO, April 13 (Reuters) - Bosnia's state court on Thursday
indicted on terrorism charges three men from Turkey, Sweden and Bosnia,
who local media reported had been planning attacks on Western embassies
in Sarajevo.
Police arrested the three men in October and confiscated explosives and
weapons found during raids in Sarajevo. The arrest of four Muslims in
Denmark shortly afterwards was said to be connected to the Bosnia
arrests. The court said it had confirmed the indictment issued
by the state prosecutor against Swedish citizen Mirsad Bektasevic, 19,
Turk Cesur Abdulkadir, 21, and Bosnian citizen Bajro Ikanovic. It
extended their detention for a maximum of one year. Bektasevic,
who has Bosnian roots, and Abdulkadir are in addition indicted for
preventing an official from performing his duties. Another two
Bosnians, who were arrested in November in connection with the trio,
were indicted for illegal possession of weapons and explosives but they
were released from detention, the court said. The police did not
provide details about their findings but local media reported they had
found some 30 kg (66 lb) of explosives and an arsenal of weapons,
including a suicide-bomb vest, during the October raids. Police
had also found a videotape showing them asking God for forgiveness for
what they were going to do, as well as laptops and mobile phones
containing lists that included the names of the suspects arrested in
Denmark, according to media reports. Bosnia, where mostly
liberal Muslims make up almost half of the population, has been in the
spotlight since the 2001 Islamic militants' attacks on the United
States because of hundreds of former Islamic fighters who stayed in
Bosnia after the 1992-95 war. Six Algerians who were arrested in
Bosnia on suspicion of planning attacks on the U.S. and British
embassies in late 2001 were handed over to Washington in early 2002 and
have been detained at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba since.
