| Bosnian court wants NATO to hand over Al Qaeda suspect |
| 2003-01-14 |
| Bosnia's top human rights court said yesterday that NATO troops should turn over to Bosnian authorities a suspect accused of having links to Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, citing provisions of the European human rights convention. Sabahudin Fijuljanin, a Muslim living in the northeastern village of Gornja Maoca, has been held at a NATO base in the nearby town of Tuzla since his arrest in October on suspicion of spying and of having ties to Al Qaeda. In a ruling issued yesterday, Bosnia's Human Rights Chamber said authorities from Bosnia's Muslim-Croat part must formally request from SFOR troops that they «immediately place» the suspect in their custody. Depends on what they want to do with him once they've got him, of course. I forget... Is there a word for "gratitude" in Bosnian? since the demand comes from the "human rights court," I'd guess there isn't. |
