Authorities on Wednesday announced the arrest of a Bosnian man, Kenan Krso, for allegedly fighting in Syria for ISIS, and promoting the terrorist organization in Sarajevo. BiH law expressly prohibits citizens from joining fighting forces abroad.
“The prosecutor’s office and police and security agencies learned that this suspect stayed for a short period on the territory of Syria, and that he is in contact with people from the so-called ‘Wahhabi movement’ from Bosnia and Herzegovina who, as members of ISIS and paramilitary units, fight on the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, which is forbidden by law for citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” the prosecutor said in a statement on Wednesday.
Bosnia’s State Investigation and Protection Agency said that Krso could face terrorism charges.
“This person is suspected of participating in certain activities that could be connected with terrorism,” it said in a statement.
