The German government has stated today that the three German nationals arrested in Kosovo are in fact members of the German secret service (BND). This was confirmed by Bundestag Speaker Thomas Oppermann. Germans arrested in Kosovo confirmed as secret service The Germans were arrested last week over the bombing of the International Civilian Office (ICO) in Pristina, since which time speculation has been rife that they may have been secret service operatives. According to Oppermann, there is no indication that the three men had anything to do with the bombing, and he demanded their immediate release. “They worked for the BND there,” Oppermann told reporters after a meeting of the committee, which, according to Reuters, is responsible for “overseeing intelligence operations.” Oppermann did not want to reveal the nature of the German operatives’ mission in Kosovo. He said that the government in Kosovo has been holding the Germans for nine days in inhumane conditions and that the “arrest is a mystery.” A special commission was formed yesterday by the Kosovo Supreme Court, which is expected to decide on whether the German operatives should be freed. Supreme Court Judge Anton Nokaj said that the case would be referred to an international judge who would take the final decision, according to Macedonian news agency MIA. The German press writes that the operatives will be released by the end of the weekend at the latest. Yesterday, an unknown group calling itself the Army of the Republic of Kosovo claimed responsibility for the attack, and warned international community officials and Serb officials in Kosovo of further attacks.
