The police did reveal the identity of the suspect, but Dnevni Avaz daily reported that the arrested man was Kenan Devric, who was placed in custody in Travnik on Friday.
The investigation into the case was taken over by the state prosecution which gave no comment. The police and the US Embassy did not comment on the case either.
The US Embassy in Sarajevo was placed under tightened security on August 29. Unofficial sources said at the time the police had taken the said measures due to threats, but this was never officially confirmed.
Dnevni Avaz claims that Devric sent threatening messages to the US Embassy using his mobile phone. He was discovered and arrested after he was trailed by the police and intelligence services for several days, the daily said.
