Bosnia: Tunisian terrorist to be deported
2009-08-11
[ADN Kronos] A Tunisian terrorist Karray Kamel bin Ali, known as Abu Hamza, who was arrested by Bosnian police on Friday night, will be deported when he completes his jail term, local media reported on Monday.

Hamza, 43, has been serving a four year jail term for assault in central Bosnian city of Zenica. He was previously convicted for terrorist activities in Tunisia. He was granted a one week leave in July, but failed to return to prison on 27 July.

Bosnian police and Interpol issued a warrant for his arrest and he was apprehended by police on Friday.

Sarajevo daily Dnevni avaz quoted officials as saying he would be deported from the country after serving the rest of his term. "It's very unlikely that he will be granted any more leave before serving his term," director of Zenica jail Nihad Spahic was quoted as saying.
Brilliant decision, Legume! How do you do it?
The police said Hamza was aided by his common law wife and three Bosnian men, who were arrested.
No leave for them until their sentences are completed, one hopes.
Hamza was among thousands of mujahadeen who came from Islamic countries to fight with local Muslims during Bosnia's 1992-1995 civil war. Many have remained in the country, married local women and obtained Bosnian citizenship.

Bosnian authorities have revoked the citizenship of several hundred people, after reports that some former mujahadeen were indoctrinating young people with radical Islam and even operating terrorist training camps.

Dnevni avaz said Hamza would be deported to his home country when his jail term ends next year.

Hamza was sentenced to 12 years in prison in Tunisia for terrorist activities and has already served a seven-year sentence in Bosnia for murder and racketeering.
