Friday, January 28, 2011

Security forces are searching for an ethnic Russian member of a North Caucasus Islamist group suspected of involvement in the Moscow airport bombing which killed 35 people on Monday.

The suicide attack in the arrivals hall of Domodedovo airport bore the hallmarks of Islamist insurgents from the North Caucasus, on Russia’s southern flank.

The suspect, 32-year-old Vitaly Razdobudko, is one of the growing number of Russians who have embraced radical Islam, creating a security nightmare for Russia's anti-terrorism squads.

Inured to more than a decade of terrorist attacks on their trains, planes, schools, hospitals and theatres, ordinary Russians are facing up to an uncomfortable truth: the terrorists are now drawn from their own ranks, rather than exclusively from the impoverished Muslim population of the country's North Caucasus region.

Muslim Teen in Ukraine Reportedly Stoned to Death, Though Police Deny Religious Motivation

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/05/31 ... y-contest/

Published May 31, 2011


A teenage woman possibly targeted by fellow Muslims was found stoned to death in a Ukraine forest after she took part in a beauty contest, the Daily Mail reported, though local police official deny that there was a religious motivation to the killing.

The 19-year-old woman was identified as Katya Koren, who was known for wearing "fashionable clothes" and who had been missing for a week. The Mail reported that Ukraine authorities think she was killed by three Muslim men who justified the killing by citing Shariah Law.

A 16-year-old was arrested, and the Mail reported he told police he had no regrets about the killing.

But Gauri van Gulik, an advocate at Human Rights Watch, said she received reports saying the killing was a random criminal act.

"We expect a full investigation into the matter," van Gulik told FoxNews.com.

And a local police official disputed the claim of Shariah Law, saying it appeared the killing was part an attempt to steal Koren's possessions, and that the suspect, Bilal Gaziyev, is a male classmate of the victim.

Serbia, Bosnia raid Islamists after U.S. embassy attack

BELGRADE | Sat Oct 29, 2011 4:01pm EDT

(Reuters) - Police in Serbia and Bosnia carried out raids on suspected radical Islamists on Saturday after a gunman opened fire with an assault rifle on the U.S. embassy in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo.

Serbian police arrested and later released 17 people in three locations in the southwest of the country, including the mainly Muslim Novi Pazar, the hometown of the gunman identified as 23-year-old Mevludin Jasarevic.

Friday's attack in broad daylight paralyzed central Sarajevo and saw shopkeepers scrambling for cover as the gunman paced up and down firing on the embassy before a police sharpshooter wounded him and he was arrested.

One police officer was also wounded and several bullets struck the wall of the embassy compound in an attack that threw a fresh spotlight on the threat from radical Islam in the Balkans.

Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said the raids had targeted the "extremist Islamic Wahhabi movement" in the southwest of Serbia, a mainly Orthodox Christian country. Wahhabism is a strict branch of Islam.

Police seized computers, compact discs, military uniforms, knives, baseball bats and a sword, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

Bosnia's security minister, Sadik Ahmetovic, said Bosnian authorities coordinated activities with their Serbian counterparts.

"Several locations have been raided and a number of individuals believed to have had links with the perpetrator have been interrogated in Bosnia," Ahmetovic told reporters.

FBI INVESTIGATION

The state prosecutor Dubravko Campara said he had met the gunman but could not provide more detail on his motives in the interest of ongoing investigation.

Serbian media reported police had stepped up security around the United States embassy in the capital Belgrade.

U.S. Ambassador to Bosnia Patrick Moon said Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents were expected to conduct an investigation into the damage on the embassy building.

"This is a standard procedure if there is a damage to our property or personnel," he said.

Security officials in Bosnia said Jasarevic, who was convicted of robbery in Austria in 2005 and deported to Serbia, had entered Bosnia on Friday morning. He visited hardline Islamists in northern Bosnia earlier in the year.

The Novi Pazar region has been raided previously.

In 2007, police uncovered what they said was an Islamist "terrorist" training camp, seizing plastic explosives, grenades and automatic weapons.

In 2010, Bosnian police also raided the northern village of Gornja Maoca which is home to followers of the Islamic Wahhabi branch. They arrested several men, suspected of destabilizing Bosnia and seized a large cache of weapons.

The villagers there live in accordance with Sharia (Islamic law). Many young Bosnian Muslims, particularly from rural areas, have in recent years adhered to the puritanical Wahhabi sect under the influence of foreign fighters, most of whom left Bosnia after the 1992-95 war.

BELGRADE, Serbia — The young man wore a long beard and pants that stopped above his ankles. He sprayed the U.S. embassy in Bosnia with machine gun fire.

Friday’s incident in Sarajevo, in which the gunman and a police officer were wounded but no one died, was the latest in a series of incidents in eastern Europe involving Wahhabis — followers of an austere brand of Sunni Islam promoted by radicals, including the Taliban and al-Qaida fighters.
