Bosniaks have more fighters to I.S. per capita than any other
European nation.
Experts in the fight against terrorism claim around the increasing number of fighters of IS returnees in BiH, in transit towards other EU countries.
Diplomats and
security experts warn that the returnees safe shelters are actually the djemats in
which the flag IS is openly displayed, in dozens of locations across Bosnia. Such djemats continue to receive foreign
fighters, who are here to rest, change their identity, coming to acquire the necessary
weapons, but also to conduct money
laundering, and thereafter enter the countries of Western Europe.
Gordon Bardos,
President of the SEERECON, a company for strategic consulting and analysis of
political risk, says djemats become an enclave within sovereign states.
"Established villages run by radical Islamists definitely operate as
enclaves within Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, they establish and
financial networks for the transfer of money, while at the same time provide
new fighters or false identities," said Bardos. According to him, when you
get a new identity, these people life starting from scratch and are free to
travel around the world. "In these remote villages they conduct paramilitary training," adds Bardos.
He claims that all of the biggest
attacks directed against the United States, including the September 11, had Bosnian connections. "We're talking about people who were involved
in the 9/11 attacks. We are talking about people who were involved in the
attack on the USS Cole." We're talking about people who were involved in
attacks on US embassies in Africa in August 1998. All they were in the nineties
were active in the Balkans. it is they who are sown the seeds of all this we're
seeing, "said Bardos.
In addition, it is alleged, BiH has played an
important role in the recent attacks across Europe. "Historically, when we
look at a variety of terrorist attacks, the last on the Christmas market in
Berlin, or the attack on 'Charlie Hebdo' in Paris, or the attack on the
Brussels metro, exists a 'Balkan connection'". Suspects of planning the attacks in Paris in November 2015, or
attacks on Brussels in March 2016, have lived in the Balkans. Weapons and
ammunition found in Paris originate from the Balkans. Nasser bin Ali Ansi, who
used to live in Bosnia, claimed responsibility for the attack on "Charlie
Hebdo" in Paris. Later Ali Ansi became leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula.
Many
fighters from Bosnia and Herzegovina fled from Rake and Mosul in the province
of Idlib, which is today a mainstay of all jihadist groups.
In Mosul (Iraq) terrorists held by only two districts, and in
Syria, their capital Cancer is almost about to fall. Today, most fighters of the terrorist organization Islamic state are concentrated in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor and Idlib, and among them are fighters from the former Yugoslavia and most notably Bosnia.
The Croatia paper "Vecernji list" has received exclusive information from
confidential sources, collected on the basis of monitoring and interception, on
how many figthers there are and where they live today who are fighting on the side of ISIL.
According to the data sheet received, increasing group of
jihadists from BiH with their families stationed in the Majadin near the town
of Deir ez-Zora. Many of them are in Majadin come from Rake,
and some of Mosul. Among them is Edvin
Babic called Osman from Sarajevo, who works in the media of the
Islamic state.
In Majadin have come and some of the most notorious terrorists of
BiH as Ines Midžić from Bihac. He is one of the actors of the film "The honor is in jihad,
the message the Balkans", fled also with his family. His pseudonym in a shocking video footage showing how Midžić
slaughtered Kurdish fighter, read "Salahudin al-Bosni"a.Otherwise, Ines was born
in 1990 in Bihac, a month before the departure he was about to defend his thesis in
English at the University of Bihac.
In Syria he went with Fikret Hadzic with a flight from
Sarajevo via Istanbul, on15 August 2012. Several times he returned to Bosnia and Herzegovina, smoothly passing border points despite being in the wanted list, and with him on June 20 2013, in Istanbul traveled together with Edin Zukic.
Saladin, who works for the media ISIL and speaks
excellent English, leads and governs ISIL's portal "News
Ummah".Midžić in Bihac was known as the activists of an NGO in which he
was a translator.
In addition, Majadinu is another notorious terrorists from BiH
- Jasmin Keserović called Japa, known for being also one of
the actors of the film "The honor is in jihad, the message the
Balkans", in which he openly called for the murder of people from the
Balkans. It is a very radical young man, born in 1994
in Zavidovici. Keserović, who is among
najradikalizovanijim and most violent Islamists, he went to the jihad
with Bajro IKANOVIĆ and Midhat Djon on 23
January 2013 again via Istanbul.
In a propaganda video in
which Keserović appears under the name "Abu Muhammad al-Bosni"a. shows footage with the authentic scenes of the Golden Gate, one of
the most recognizable symbols of San Francisco, and Las Vegas, and portrays "Omar Mateen", who committed the massacre at a nightclub in Orlando-USA. Keserović is
in this recording very strongly urges his followers to murder unbelievers.
- "Rise, Muslims kill Christians and their servants in their cities
and countries. Ask them explosives under cars, in homes and
offices. Kill them snipers with silencers, kill them as
you can, even if it was a knife.I do not discriminate between soldiers and
civilians, even as their planes do not distinguish between soldiers and
civilians of the Islamic state. Rely firmly to Allah and help
your brothers" - says Keserović
Among the fighters from Bosnia and Herzegovina and today is in the
province of Deir ez-Zor is Ali Keserović from Velika Kladusa,
born in the village of Trnovo. He joined I.S. in 2014 and is one
of the actors of the propaganda film "The structure of the Caliphate".
There is also Goran Pavlovic Abdullah, nome de guerre "Abu Ubaydah", a native of Serbia, born in Belgrade, who converted to
Islam. One of the best ofMidžićevih's friends, and is in Syria also from 2013. He lived in
the past in the village of Gornja Maoca.
In Idlib is Edin Zukic from Banovic in Bosnia,
which was among the first to leave BiH. Unlike most Bosnians who joined the terrorist organization Islamic
state, Edin joined al-Nusra Front affiliated with Al Qaeda. Zukić on social networks known as "Abdullah Muhajir", is
currently a member of the Taliban movement in Idlib. With him is his brother Elvedin Zukić, and also Jasmin
Grabus known as Saad SANDŽAK. This group now idles in Idlib awaiting developments.
A group of fighters is in Mosul led by Bajro IKANOVIĆ, terrorist from Bosnia, along with the fighters and Edin Kahriman from
Maglaj, Senad Hasanovic from Sarajevo, and other several fighters from
Bosnia and Kosovo.
The City of Mosul will soon be liberated and these fighters have only
two choices - or they will surrender they will be killed. Most members of the Wahhabi movement went to Syria in 2013, in the
town of Azaz on the border with Turkey. In Syria, the Turks let them both legally
and illegally. After the Islamic state
declared caliphate, they all went out of Azaz South -East..Later they spread on Al
Bab, Sarin, Kobani and other cities, but after they were expelled Kurds, 2015,
most went to Mosul.
All available information indicate thet the aforementioned people and their surrounding networks are in the process of returning to the Balknas with Turkey again as the main transit route.
