"4,000 IS extremists live in Bosnia" - report

The report continues to say that 156 men, 36 women and 25 children left Bosnia to go to Syria. Since the beginning of the year 48 men and three women returned, according to the same source, while 25 men and one woman died in the Middle Eastern country.

According to the age structure, the oldest fighter who went to Syria from Bosnia was 74, while the average age of women is 27 - the oldest among them was 55.

IS fighters from Bosnia "earn 50 to 100 dollars per month" -and one third of them have previous criminal records related to terrorism, theft or robbery.

"Bosnia is a country where the war did not end but was interrupted," Globus quoted statements made by officials from security services. Pavle Kalinic, head of the Zagreb Office for Emergency Management, said Croatia is a potential target "simply because it was involved in the war in Bosnia."

"In addition, we as a NATO member sent troops to Afghanistan," he said.
