2007-06-12 11:40:58 -

ARTILCE SNIPPET: “BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - Serbian police said Tuesday they discovered a large cache of rifle bullets and bomb-making material in a series of raids in a tense Muslim-populated region.

About 10,000 bullets and 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of plastic explosives were discovered Monday in the tense southern Sandzak region bordering Kosovo, Serbia’s Interior Minister Dragan Jocic said.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In April, police arrested six Muslims in the region, and accused them of being Islamic radicals and adherents of the Wahhabi interpretation of Islam, which is followed by Osama bin Laden and many al-Qaida members.

Police said then that they discovered a mountain cave that served as a terrorist training ground packed with plastic explosives, masks and machine guns. Police said the alleged terrorist group was planning attacks in Serbia or elsewhere and had ties to other Islamic terrorist groups.”

June 12, 2007 — Serbian police say they have discovered a large cache of bullets and bomb-making material in a southern region bordering Kosovo.

Interior Minister Dragan Jocic says some 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 15 kilograms of explosives were found during a series of raids in the Sandzak, an ethnically mixed region that straddles Serbia and Montenegro and is principally populated by Bosnian Muslims.

Police believe the munitions were intended for “terrorist actions” by Muslim extremists against targets in the region.

In recent months, Serbian police have conducted a number of raids in the area against what they describe as “Wahhabis,” a generic term in the Balkans for Islamic radicals.
