"For now we have three suspects under investigation, and they are
all minors," police spokeswoman Stanka Saraja told Hina on Tuesday,
adding that other suspects were expected to be found soon.
Saraja declined to specify whether the suspects were skinheads,
saying that a criminal investigation was still in progress. She
said that the results of the investigation would be revealed at a
press conference on Wednesday.
The spokeswoman said that charges would be pressed against the
suspects.
According to media reports, late last month an Egyptian student was
beaten up and slightly injured by a gang of "black-clad youths with
short haircuts". The incident was followed by an attack by three
football supporters on a Pakistani-born Austrian national, his
wife and son who had arrived in Zagreb as tourists. The latest
incident occurred on August 6 when two youths beat up and slightly
injured an 11-year-old son of an Egyptian Embassy official.
