SARAJEVO WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT BOSNIAN PASSPORT IN KABUL

SARAJEVO, Nov 20 (Hina) - Security services in Bosnia-Herzegovina have so far received no official information that documents with Bosnian insignia had been found in Afghanistan. If the information is relayed, the documents will be checked thoroughly and the circumstances under which they were issued investigated, spokesman for the UN Mission Sarajevo, Stefo Lehmann, said in Sarajevo on Tuesday. The New York Times wrote three days ago that documents and books had been found in a house in Kabul, which indicated that the house was used as shelter for members of the Al-Quaida terrorist organisation. The newspaper also wrote that, among other items, a book in "Serbo- Croat language" was found, containing instructions on handling explosive devices. The paper concluded that the instructions had been written by a Bosnian citizen versed in chemistry. The abandoned house also allegedly contained two documents indicating a "Bosnian connection" -- a passport and a health care card issued to different names. The newspaper article did not say whether the Bosnian passport was valid nor when it was issued, but did say the photograph had been removed from it. We know about it only from the media. If more detailed information arrive, the foreign ministries in Bosnia-Herzegovina will conduct a serious investigation, Lehmann said. (hina) lml
