SARAJEVO, Jan 30 (Hina) - Sabahudin Fiuljanin, who was held in SFOR
custody for three months under suspicion of being connected with
Islamic terrorists, was released Thursday night after he was heard
by an investigating judge in Srebrenik near Tuzla. #L#
Fiuljanin's attorney Osman Mulahalilovic told reporters that his
client had been charged with the illegal possession of weapons,
while other charges, including the one relating to terrorism, had
been dropped.
Fiuljanin is to appear again before the investigative judge on
Friday.
The Bosniak was arrested late last October after NATO peacekeepers
suspected that he was spying on their base in Tuzla. A subsequent
search of his house produced a gun and an anti-tank missile
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 Fiuljanin was linked to Al Qaeda.
SFOR expects the interior ministry in Bosnia's Croat-Muslim
federation to resume the probe of Fijuljanin's activities.
