Police have established, said the ministry, that suspicious
transactions exceeding a million US dollars had been done via
accounts of the humanitarian organisation BIF in Bosnian banks.
BIF inherited the "Benevolentia International Fundation"
humanitarian organisation which was registered in the United
States, which was active in Bosnia from 1994 through 2001.
It is presumed that the organisation might have been connected to
the financing of radical Islamic groups and their terrorist
activities.
