Terrorists who previously targeted the United States may be now in Bosnia,
Cybercast News Service said Friday.
Convicted terrorists may be moving to Bosnia after being freed and they have
access there to a "one-stop shop" of jihad training camps, weapons and
illegal Islamic "charities" - all at the doorstep of Europe, terrorism
experts said according to the report, which was carried by the Assyrian
International News Agency.
"[Convicted terrorist] Karim Said Atmani recently returned to Bosnia after
being released early from French prison for 'good behavior,'" terrorism
expert and author Evan Kohlmann told CNS.
Atmani, a Moroccan, was linked to the "millennium bomb plot" and convicted
by a French court of colluding with Osama bin Laden. He has been linked to
the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), an organization responsible for airplane
hijackings and subway bombings in France, CNS said.
Also finding haven in Bosnia is Abu el Maali, who like Atmani, was a foreign
national who fought in the Bosnia war. El Maali was later accused by French
authorities of attempting to smuggle explosives in 1998 to an Egyptian
terrorist group plotting to destroy U.S. military installations in Germany.
He was also accused of leading terrorist cells in Bosnia, Pakistan and
Afghanistan.
The Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation (AHF), a charity that was later found by
the U.S. Treasury to be underwriting terrorist operations including
al-Qaida, shut its offices in Bosnia after the U.S. announcement but
reopened under the name "Vazir." The new organization was registered as an
"association for sport, culture and education," CNS said.
Cybercast News Service has also obtained a video that terrorism analysts say
depicts an active jihad training camp in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a region
previously described by analysts as an ideal gateway for terror missions
into Europe.
The video shows outdoor maneuvers, explosives training and training inside
what appears to be a school gym. Exercises in hostage-taking are also shown.
