"The Ministry and the Police Directorate have no information to
support the media reports. We find these reports arbitrary and not
based on relevant facts," Interior Ministry spokesman Zlatko Mehun
told Hina.
Mehun said that the Croatian police were in constant contact with
foreign police forces and that they had received "no information
either from the Italian or the Spanish police about the port of Split
being used by Mujahideen to enter and leave Bosnia-Herzegovina."
Some Croatian media on Wednesday carried reports by the Italian press
saying that the Spanish police and Italian security services had found
that the Spanish cell of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, which is
suspected of train bombings in Madrid two weeks ago that killed nearly
200 people, consisted of Mujahideen trained in camps near the central
Bosnian town of Zenica. The Mujahideen were reportedly transferred to
Spain via Split and Ancona.
