The head of the association, Slavica Hruskar, told a news
conference that Croatia was not yet ready to participate in such a
mission because "the wounds of war in Croatia are still deep."
She recalled a recent statement by the leader of the Islamic
community in Croatia, Sefko Omerbasic, that Croatia might become a
target for attack by Islamic terrorist groups if it sent troops to
Iraq.
