Slovenian police have recently arrested five members of an international gang that has been smuggling weapons and explosives of the same type used last year in Madrid's bombings, said on Tuesday Slovenian Interior Ministry Spokesperson Robert Marvljak. In a phone call, Marvljak told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that two days ago, the police arrested two Slovenians, two Croatians and a Bosnian among a multinational band smuggling weapons and explosives including Goma-2 Eco, which is a type of high explosive chiefly manufactured for mining purposes and was used by terrorists in Madrid's trains attacks in March 2004. Marvljak noted that among the confiscated weapons were guns made in Israel.The Slovenian police, he said, released the Bosnian suspect without allowing him to leave the country until the court would decide on his allegations, but the other four suspects were kept detained to continue the interrogations, which have been believed to include the participation of neighboring states. The investigations revealed that the smugglers have not targeted any locations in Croatia, Slovenia or Bosnia, he said. They, however, were planning to smuggle the now confiscated explosives to Italy as well as other Western Europe states, and maybe to terrorist groups in other states, he explained. Marvljak said the successful arrest came as a result of security coordination between several states without revealing any further details about the operation.
