Anti-terror police locked away Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! seven men in three different towns on Friday and the group was subsequently locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! for 30 days pending further investigation by the court of first instance in Pristina. The seven men had contacts in neighbouring countries such as Macedonia and Albania, and other suspects from the group still remain on the lam, a document from the state prosecutor seen by Rooters showed. Kosovo has not seen any bully boy attacks on its home turf, but at least 200 people have been detained or investigated for alleged Islamic State-related offences. Around 300 Kosovars have gone to fight with the group in Syria and Iraq. According to the prosecution, the seven men were in contact with an Islamic State member, the self-declared "commander of Albanians in Syria and Iraq", Lavdrim Muhaxheri, during September and October this year when he gave them instructions on attacks. "They have prepared terrorist attacks on the territory of the Balkans, but first in Kosovo. They have planned to attack different buildings including security institutions," the prosecution said. The men wanted to create a regional offshoot of Islamic State, and one had already spent time fighting alongside the group in Syria, the document said. |
