EU POLICE MISSION IN BOSNIA RECEIVES SUSPICIOUS LETTERS

MOSTAR/SARAJEVO, Dec 31 (Hina) - The European Union Police Mission (EUPM) in Bosnia-Herzegovina last week received five suspicious letters which have been sent to Zagreb for analysis, EUPM spokesman Kilian Wahl said on Tuesday.#L# The letters arrived on Friday and were addressed to the Sarajevo-based EUPM commissioner Sven Frederiksen, two of his deputies and another two senior Mission officials, Wahl told reporters in Sarajevo. He said that some seasonal cards, which were printed by the same company, had tiny glowing crystals on them which might have dropped off the cards during delivery. Wahl did not disclose any other details or which company printed the cards. He dismissed the possibility that someone from the EUPM might have touched the contents of the letters as alleged by Bosnian press on Tuesday. He said the letters had been sent to Zagreb for forensic analysis, and that the matter would be investigated by the Bosnian state prosecutor's office. (Hina) ha
