Bosniak leader under police investigation
Police has also opened an investigation into weapons smuggling against former deputy defense minister in the Muslim-Croat Federation, Hasan Čengić, Turkish businessman Nedim Suljak and the head of the Muslim humanitarian organization TWRA, Fatih El Hasanein.According to the daily, the weapons ended up in the countries of former Soviet Union, in Africa and other war zones.
The period of time in which the alleged international illegal smuggling took place is still unknown.
Bosnian state prosecutors confirmed that an investigation into international illegal weapons smuggling had been opened but refused to provide details or confirm any names under investigation.
"We cannot comment on these allegations for we never give information on possible investigations nor we want to comment on people or causes of investigation," spokesman for Bosnian prosecutor Boris Grubešić stressed.
Silajdžić, who was Bosnia's foreign minister during the country's 1992-95 war, was elected president in Bosnia's tripartite presidential elections in October last year.
