| [Ynet] In Sarajevo, a Bosnian Moslem holy man accused of recruiting fighters for Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in Syria and Iraq went on trial on Wednesday under a new law that is designed to stop people joining snuffies in the Middle East. Husein Bosnic, known as an unofficial leader of the ultra-conservative Salafi movement in Bosnia, was locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in September along with four other men who were later released due to a lack of evidence. The prosecution accuses Bosnic, also known as Bilal, of publicly inciting and recruiting people to commit a terrorist act and organising a terrorist group during 2013 and 2014, "consciously and from a position of religious authority". Bosnic denies the charges against him. His trial is the first launched under a law adopted last April which sets jail terms of up to 10 years for financing terrorist activities and recruiting and fighting abroad. "The defendant has called on believers to take part in activities of the Islamic State at public gatherings and via YouTube," said prosecutor Dubravko Campara, adding that Bosnic's calls had inspired many Moslem Bosniaks to leave Bosnia. "At least six people from his organization were killed while others are still fighting and therefore represent a threat for security in Bosnia once they return." Bosnic, who has 17 children and is based in northwestern Bosnia, has received a "significant amount of money" from Arab countries, Campara added. And in Kosovo, four ethnic Albanian Moslems pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to charges made by an international prosecutor that they belonged to a terrorist group plotting attacks and were linked to Islamic State myrmidons. A fifth, accused of assaulting two American missionaries, pleaded guilty. The five men had been in detention since November 2013 after a sting operation by the police during which they were caught buying weapons. |
