ZAGREB, Nov 3 (Hina) - The Croatian Foreign Ministry is not aware of

organisation Gama'e al-Islamiya, and preparations for Zagreb's
Summit, to be held on November 24, are proceeding without
intensified measures of security, spokesman of the Croatian
Foreign Ministry Goran Rotim said in a statement Friday.
Answering to Hina's question whether the security measures would be

countries, as well as countries included in the Stabilisation and
Association Agreement and several international officials.
The Croatian Interior Ministry on Tuesday said it had undertaken
all necessary measures following an article in Zagreb's daily
"Vecernji list" of Tuesday reporting on alleged threats made by the
Egyptian terrorist organisation Gama'e Al- Islamiyya that "Croatia
will burn from car bombs".
A brief ministry statement signed by spokesman Slavko Rako failed
to mention what measures these may be.
Tuesday's issue of the Vecernji list daily relayed a statement
given by a member of the Egyptian organisation, Muhammad Shawki Al-
Islambuli, to a reporter of a Lebanese weekly Al-Bilad, threatening
that Croatia would "burn from car bombs" if Croatian authorities do
not provide them with an answer to the whereabouts of their ideology
leader Abu- Tala'at, who was, allegedly, last seen in Zagreb in
1995.
