Bosnian officials said they did not find any trace of about 100 Algerian-born citizens whose Bosnian nationalities had been withdrawn by authorities in Sarajevo. The Bosnian government believes that most of them have left Bosnia and gone to live in a number of European countries. "Leaving Bosnia was their only choice to escape from security and judicial pressures," Abu Hamza spokesperson for former Arab fighters told Echorouk. "It is clear that America and the West put more pressure on the Bosnian government to make 2008 a year of definitive settlement of Arab fighters' issue in Bosnia," he added. According to the Syrian-born leader, the US campaign against the former Arab fighters has extended to Western security forces to search and arrest them. "All it seems, they find difficulties in that because most of them have got new passports with different names," he said. Bosnia on 16 December deported 37-year-old Algerian Atau Mimun to Algeria. In last July, Bosnian authorities published a list of 75 Algerians including 11 women and high-ranking officers in the Bosnian army whose Bosnian nationalities might be withdrawn. Several volunteers from Algeria, Syria, Jordan and Egypt were fighting against Serbian forces between 1992 and 1995. A war was declared by Serbia against Bosnia and Herzegovina's Muslims, two years after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Under intensifying pressure from the international community, Bosnian authorities on 16 December deported the first of nearly 600 naturalized Bosnian citizens from Islamic countries. Human rights organisations have implored Bosnian authorities to stop the deportation decision which will deprive the citizens from their families. They fear that those former Arab fighters will be tortured or mal treated if they return to their native lands.
