ABDIC TO FILE SUIT AGAINST IZETBEGOVIC

ZAGREB, Sept 11 (Hina) - Fikret Abdic, a controversial Bosnian political figure, a very successful businessman and politician before the war, founder of the failed West Bosnia autonomy during the war, and president of the opposition Moslem Democratic National Union party (DNZ) today, is to file suit to the International Crimes Tribunal in the Hague against the president of Bosnia- Herzegovina Alija Izetbegovic for war crimes. Abdic announced this at a news conference in Zagreb, after the police in Velika Kladusa, Abdic's former centre of power, had forbidden his party to hold an election rally. The DNZ election rally was prohibited by the Velika Kladusa police with an explanation that they were not able to ensure order and peace at the rally in time. Asked to explain his announcement that he would file suit against Izetbegovic to the International Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, Abdic said, "Alija Izetbegovic ordered Atif Dudakovic to lead 1,200 armed soldiers to Johovica and attack civilians".
