Mirsad Prentic, one of a group of 15 Wahhabis charged with terrorism, Thursday rejected the indictment against him. The members of the radical Islamic sect, resident of the southwestern region of Sandzak, were arrested last spring. Another Wahhabi rejects indictment The indictment, raised on by the Special Prosecution on September 15, 2007, charges them with plotting terror attacks in Novi Pazar and Belgrade, illegal possession of weapons and attempted murder of a policeman. As the trial, which opened Monday, continued before the Special Organized Crime Court in Belgrade yesterday, Prentic said he was not guilty. "I could not have organized a football game in Novi Pazar. I have spent the last ten moths in solitary confinement at my own request because I do not like to socialize. I did not buy ammunition or explosives," he told a panel of judges, presided by Judge Milan Ranic. Prentic's brother Ismail was the only Wahhabi who died during MUP's two arrest raids in March and April last year, when he and his group, hidden in a village cottage, threw grenades and opened fire at officers, wounding one. Now Mirsand Prentic denied an allegation made in the indictment, that he, along with his brother, made an edited video showing two Novi Pazar mosques hit by a ball of fire, followed by the word, "congratulations" appearing on the screen. "The film never existed, this is only to slander my brother. He did not know how to make special effects," he told the court. Asked how it was possible that the video was found in his computer, Prentic said that "he too would like to know how it happened," and that he hoped the court would clarify this. Prentic, who is apprentice in a lawyer's office, also added he was "a modern Muslim who wears suits," describing his late brother as "a real Muslim." "I had a gun that I got from my mate at the university. I meant to legalize it, and I took it to prayer on Ninaja to brag," he said. Mt. Ninaja, some 30 kilometers from Novi Pazar, is where the first group was arrested, along with a huge cache of arms and explosives in March 2007, in what the indictment describes as the Wahhabi training camp. The trial continues today.
