Fiuljanin, who had been in detention at an SFOR base near Tuzla, was
escorted to Srebrenik and taken to a municipal investigating judge
on Thursday.
He was arrested late last October after the NATO peacekeepers
suspected that he was spying on their base. A subsequent search of
his house produced a gun and an anti-tank launcher.
It was also established that he possessed several Bosnian and
Yugoslav passports in his name, and that it was unclear how this
man, originally from the Serbian region of Sandzak, had been
granted Bosnian citizenship.
After several weeks of investigation, SFOR said there was evidence
that Fijuljanin was linked to al Qaeda.
Today spokesman Mell declined to confirm this but said SFOR still
considered Fijuljanin an extremist.
He said the SFOR command expected the interior ministry in Bosnia's
Croat-Muslim federation to resume the probe of Fijuljanin's
activities.
