ISIS Flags Fly High, Now in Bosnia Special forces raid radical Muslim village after evidence reveals flags and home-grown ISIS support; 150 Bosnians in Syria-Iraq. By Arutz Sheva Staff First Publish: 2/6/2015, 7:42 AMPolice special forces carried out a raid Thursday in a Bosnian village home to Muslim fundamentalists, after media published photos of local houses displaying the flag of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group. By the time forces arrived "the flags were no longer hanging" in the northeastern village of Gornja Maoca, said Kristina Jozic, a spokeswoman for state police agency SIPA, reports AFP. Local television station FTV had on Wednesday broadcast photos showing the black and white flags of the ISIS jihadists hanging from the roof of a house, saying the images were taken in Gornja Maoca. The isolated village lies close to the town of Brcko. Controlled by a local movement that adheres to the strict Wahhabi branch of Islam, it has been targeted in numerous police operations in recent years. The last major operation in the area was in early 2012 after a Serbian national with ties to the local Islamist movement opened fire on the US Bosnian officials also carried out several raids at the end of 2014 against local Wahhabis, leading to the arrest of 26 people suspected of being members of ISIS or other jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq, or of having recruited fighters in Bosnia. Only one of the suspects was detained and charged with terrorism: Husein Bosnic dit Bilal, considered a leader in radical Muslim circles in Bosnia. According to estimates by Bosnian intelligence cited by local media, some 150 Bosnian fighters are currently fighting in Iraq or Syria, with around 20 killed. Some 50 other jihadists are believed to have returned to Bosnia. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/191001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bosnian Immigrants Plotted Over Facebook

Bosnia's prosecutor said in a statement the six were members of "radical religious movements" and that some were on their way to Syria where they "intended to join the forces of Islamic State group," reports AFP. Some suspects were arrested at Sarajevo airport. The others were stopped at border crossings in the northwestern region of Bihac and the northern town of Maglaj. Bosnia's intelligence services estimate that some 200 Bosnian citizens have joined the jihadist groups in Iraq or Syria, according to local media reports. Almost 30 of them were killed and around 40 are said to have returned to Bosnia. Last year the Balkan state adopted a new law which anticipates sentences of up to ten-years for jihadists and their recruiters. The first trial in which someone has been accused of recruiting jihadists to join the Islamic State group opened in January. A radical Muslim cleric, Husein Bosnic, considered a leader of Islamist movement in Bosnia, is charged with urging followers to leave for Syria and Iraq to fight with Islamic terrorists when he preached in several Bosnian towns in 2013 and 2014. Bosnia's Muslims make up 40% of the country's 3.8 million inhabitants, with the vast majority said to practice a moderate form of Islam. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/191516
