Also the members of the Osmani clan hold the nationality of BaH by Goran Maunaga 07.07.2009 (Glas Srpske)

Muslims accused of granting Bosnian citizenship to 1,300 mujahidin
BBC Monitoring Europe (Political) - July 10, 2009, Friday (original below)

Text of report by Bosnian Serb state-owned daily Glas Srpske, on 8 July

[Report by Goran Maunaga: "Osmani Clan Members, Too, Possess B-H Citizenship"]

Banja Luka - Cazim Osmani, aka Felix, leader of the Osmani criminal clan in Croatia, portrayed in the German press as "European drug kingpin," possesses the citizenship of B-H, just like most members of this mafia-like criminal organization. They acquired citizenships thanks to direct ties between the Croatian intelligence service and Bosniak security agencies in B-H.

This was stated by Dzevad Galijasevic, a member of the South East Europe Anti Terrorist and Organized Crime Expert Team, who added that "it is not surprising because all logistics and intelligence activities of the RB-H [Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina] Army had been carried out via Croatia."

"As a result, almost the entire Croatian criminal underground, currently more than 500 members, were granted B-H citizenship. The biggest problem, however, is that some applicants for citizenship were given completely new identities," Galijasevic said.

It is indicative, he added, that Serbia's most notorious criminals, including the "Zemun Clan" members, obtained B-H citizenship and identity documents from the Bosniak authorities in Sarajevo.

Therefore, he concluded, terrorists, that is, the mujahidin, of whom 1,300 were granted B-H citizenship and fake identity documents, still pose the most serious security threat to B-H and the region.

Mirko Okolic, a member of the Joint Committee for Defence and Security of the B-H Parliament's Lower House and chairman of the Joint Oversight Committee for OSA [Intelligence and Security Agency], says that everything is now in the hands of investigative bodies which are supposed to make an effort to track down failures in CIPS [Citizen Identification Protection System] and the B-H Ministry of Civil Affairs and Communications.

"All citizenships need to be urgently reviewed and those acquired illegally revoked. There is no need to step up the legislation and rules. One should rather be stricter on the executives, because it is all due to human factor. There are only a few mistakes in the legislation in this field," Okolic says.

When asked whether the "Zemun Clan" members Ninoslav Konstantinovic, Milos Simovic, Vladimir Milisavljevic, Sretko Kalinic, and Milan Jurisic possess B-H citizenship, officials of the B-H Ministry of Civil Affairs and Communications replied that they "need more information about those people" to be able to answer our question.

Marina Bakic, spokeswoman for the B-H Justice Ministry, said that the process of gathering information on those who cannot be extradited to some other country on account of dual citizenship was under way.

"We know for sure that there are currently dozens of such individuals," Bakic said.

Convicted war criminal Branimir Glavas, HDZ's [Croatian Democratic Union] number one tycoon Miroslav Kutle; Zoran Stefanovic, a suspect in the Split post office robbery; Vladimir Jovanovic, aka Vlada Japanac, former inmate of a pre-extradition detention centre in Italy; and Ljubisa Lindo, a suspected drug trafficker wanted by Serbian authorities, possess B-H citizenship as well.

Andrija Draskovic also has B-H citizenship issued in Brcko and a Bosnian identity card issued in Tomislavgrad, the B-H Federation.

[Box] Naturalized Citizens

The committee tasked with reviewing the status of citizens naturalized during the period from 6 March 1992 until the signing of the Dayton peace accord has established that around 11,000 people had been granted B-H citizenship in that period.

"Of that number, about 30 had been naturalized in the Serb entity, and about 200 in the Croat Republic of Herceg Bosna. The rest obtained citizenship in the territory then under control of the RB-H Army. Of this number, 90 per cent of the naturalized citizens were from Sandzak and Macedonia. The remaining 10 per cent pertain to foreigners, mostly Arabs," the committee members said.

BANjA LUKA - Vođa kriminalnog klana Osmani iz Hrvatske Ćazim Osmani Feliks, koga njemačka štampa naziva "evropskim kraljem droge", posjeduje državljanstvo BiH kao i većina pripadnika te mafijaške organizacije, a do njega su došli preko direktne veze hrvatske obavještajne službe s bošnjačkim bezbjednosnim agencijama u BiH.
Izjavio je to član Ekspertskog tima jugoistočne Evrope za borbu protiv terorizma i organizovanog kriminala Dževad Galijašević dodajući da "to ne iznenađuje jer su sva logistika i obavještajni rad u Armiji RBiH išli preko Hrvatske".
- Zato je skoro cijelo hrvatsko kriminalno podzemlje dobilo bh. državljanstva. Takvih je danas više od 500. Sada je najveći problem to što prilikom dodjele tih državljanstava pojedine osobe dobijaju potpuno nove identitete - kaže Galijašević.
On dodaje da je indikativno i to što su najveći kriminalci iz Srbije, uključujući pripadnike "zemunskog klana", bh. državljanstva i lične dokumente dobili preko Sarajeva i bošnjačke vlasti.
Ipak, zaključuje on, i danas su po bezbjednost BiH i regiona najopasniji teroristi, mudžahedini kojih je oko 1.300 dobilo bh. državljanstva i lične dokumente na nove identitete.
Član Zajedničke komisije za odbranu i bezbjednost Predstavničkog doma Parlamenta BiH i predsjedavajući Zajedničke komisije za kontrolu nad radom OBA-e Mirko Okolić kaže da je sada sve na istražnim organima koji bi propuste trebalo da traže u CIPS-u i Ministarstvu bezbjednosti BiH i Ministarstvu civilnih poslova i komunikacija BiH.
- Hitno treba uraditi reviziju državljanstava i oduzeti ona nelegalno stečena. Tu ne treba ništa pooštravati u zakonu i propisima, nego kod izvršilaca jer je tu ljudski faktor u pitanju. Malo je grešaka u legislativi iz te oblasti - smatra Okolić.
U Ministarstvu civilnih poslova i komunikacija BiH na pitanje da li pripadnici "zemunskog klana" Ninoslav Konstantinović, Miloš Simović, Vladimir Milisavljević, Sretko Kalinić i Milan Jurišić imaju državljanstvo BiH, odgovoreno je "da im treba više podataka o tim licima da bi nam dali odgovor".
Portparol Ministarstva pravde BiH Marina Bakić kaže da je u toku prikupljanje podataka o onima koji zbog dvojnog državljanstva ne mogu da budu isporučeni drugoj zemlji.
- Za sada znamo da se sigurno radi o nekoliko desetina takvih - kaže Bakićeva.
Državljanstvo BiH dobili su i osuđeni ratni zločinac Branimir Glavaš, najveći HDZ-ov tajkun Miroslav Kutle i optuženik za pljačku pošte u Splitu Zoran Stefanović. Imaju ga i bivši pritvorenik ekstradicionog pritvora u Italiji, Vladimir Jovanović, zvani Vlada Japanac, te osumnjičeni za trgovinu drogom za kojim tragaju vlasti Srbije, Ljubiša Lindo.
Državljanstvo BiH ima i Andrija Drašković, a dobio ga je u Brčkom. Lična karta izdata mu je u Tomislavgradu u FBiH.

Naturalizovani

Komisija za razmatranje statusa lica naturalizovanih od 6. marta 1992. godine do potpisivanja Dejtonskog mirovnog sporazuma revizijom je utvrdila da je u tom periodu državljanstvo BiH dobilo oko 11.000 osoba.
- Od tog broja u Srpskoj  je naturalizovano oko 30 ljudi, a u HR Herceg-Bosni oko 200. Ostalo otpada na dio teritorije koju je tada kontrolisala Armija RBiH. Od tog broja 90 odsto naturalizovanih bili su iz Sandžaka i Makedonije. Deset preostalih procenata otpada na strance, uglavnom Arape - kažu u toj komisiji.

French Journalists and their arrest in Pakistan 12 January, 2004

http://old.paktribune.com/speakouts/French-Journalists-and-their-arrest-in-Pakistan-38.html

Police in Pakistan arrested two French Journalists, Mr. Marc Epstein and Mr. Jean Paul who work for L'Express magazine in France. Later on court suspended arrest orders and accepted their bail petition filed by the defense attorney. They were arrested for illegally visiting a sensitive border town of Quetta near Pak-Afghan border. A local journalist Syed Khawar Mehdi aiding the two men was also arrested and is still in custody. The maximum punishment under respective charge is a 3-year rigorous imprisonment, besides fine.

They are also allegedly involved in making a video showing fake Taliban guerillas getting arms training within Pakistan�s territory. Pakistan Television (PTV) also ran a story showing clips from the making of their documentary, and how the local tribesmen were paid to wear turbans and act like Taliban.


1- If found guilty, would a severe Punishment stop such journalists in future to malign Pakistan with fake documentaries ?

2- Is western media, in general, bias towards projection of Pakistan ?

Marc Epstein, Jean-Paul Guilloteau and Khawar Mehdi Rizvi begin second week in jail (December 23, 2003 - Updated on January 20, 2016) - Reporters without Borders

Marc Epstein, Jean-Paul Guilloteau and Khawar Mehdi Rizvi begin second week in jail

PAKISTAN
ASIA - PACIFIC



The Pakistani television has broadcasted a report alleging that the three journalists had paid Afghan stooges to pose as Taliban under training. On the other hand, several French journalists have testified to the professional qualities of Rizvi before the Pakistani authorities.
French journalists working for L'Express, Marc Epstein and Jean-Paul Guilloteau and their Pakistani colleague, journalist/interpreter Khawar Mehdi Rizvi, have begun a second week of detention in Karachi. The Pakistani journalist is still being held in secret by the security forces. French journalists have rallied to the support of Rizvi after a fabricated report was broadcast on government television PTV. Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières) called on the Pakistani government to respect its commitments to press freedom and to release the three journalists. The international press freedom organisation has expressed its amazement at the outbursts of some Pakistani journalists and editorialists who have questioned the integrity of the three journalists. Reporters Without Borders can only urge the Pakistani press to investigate this case in an independent manner and to defend press freedom for Pakistani and foreign journalists. It now looks as if the authorities are holding Rizvi without charge to prevent him from giving his version of the events. Pakistani television on December 20 and 21 broadcast a report alleging that Rizvi had paid Afghan stooges to pose as Taliban under training. The journalist is seen in the report but is not given any chance to defend himself. According to several sources, the PTV report clumsily cuts in footage shot by the journalists with reconstructions and false testimonies. The authorities arranged a press trip to Quetta in the west of the country before 20 December to organise the defamatory campaign against the three journalists. On the other hand, several newspapers, leading journalists and journalists' organisations have called for the release of the three. The French diplomatic press association and Asia Presse, that groups French journalists who are Asia specialists, have all asked for the experienced professionals to be freed. Top journalists on the French dailies Le Monde and Libération and TV channels TF1 and France 2 have testified to the professional qualities of Rizvi before the Pakistani authorities. Reporters Without Borders insists on pointing out that Rizvi is an independent journalist who works with a number of foreign media, particularly French. He is known for having refused to have anything to do with the sensationalism of some western media. In an interview with the French magazine Médias, he said: "I turn down some proposals and money has nothing to do with it." Moreover Rizvi, one of the co-ordinators of the Journalists Resource Center, recently organised a training seminar in Islamabad for members of the Tribal Union of Journalists with the FATA Development Network. His work with Afghanistan's poor people also led him to carry out a successful project at Peshawar, the Aziza Health Center. For their part, Marc Epstein and Jean-Paul Guilloteau held a brief hunger strike to protest against their treatment. In a letter made public by their lawyer, the journalists said they had "only been doing their job" and did not understand why they were being "treated like criminals". They are being held in a special wing of Karachi central prison where their lawyer and French diplomats can visit them regularly. The lawyer for Marc Epstein and Jean-Paul Guilloteau, Nafees Siddiqi, appealed to the Sind High Court on 22 December against the decision to refuse them bail. The verdict has not yet been given. The journalists are accused of violating the 1946 Foreigners Act, that lays down a maximum sentence of three years in prison. The authorities accuse them of travelling through the Quetta region without special permission.

‘It is going to become worse’: ISIS prisoner predicts attack on Europe after al-Baghdadi death A former ISIS member says al-Baghdadi's death will not make the world safer. (ANC News, 29 October 2019)

https://abcnews.go.com/International/worse-isis-prisoner-predicts-attack-europe-al-baghdadi/story?id=66610282
The leader of the Islamic State may be dead, but the world is not a safer place according to Muhamed Hasic, a former #ISIS member.
Offering no remorse for his actions, Hasic said that he believed an attack on mainland #Europe was forthcoming, and dismissed the significance of the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
"When one dies another pops up," he warned.
Hasic was born in 1994 near #Srebrenica, Bosnia, where he said he lost 20 family members during the devastating civil war in the 1990s. He was imprisoned there as a child with his mother and escaped to Germany at the age of 6 as a refugee. After spending a few years in the United States, he returned to Germany, where he began abusing drugs and was imprisoned for a petty crime at 19. He became aware of ISIS at the age of 21, and joined the group with friends he met in jail, arriving in Syria in August 2014.


The leader of the Islamic State may be dead, but the world is not a safer place according to one former ISIS member.
Muhammed Hasik is an Islamic State fighter in prison in northern Iraq. In an interview with ABC News’ Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell, Hasik offered a rare and chilling insight into the mind of an ISIS operative.
Offering no remorse for his actions, Hasik said that he believed an attack on mainland Europe was forthcoming, and dismissed the significance of the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
"When one dies another pops up," he warned.
Hasik was born in 1994 near Srebrenica, Bosnia, where he said he lost 20 family members during the devastating civil war in the 1990s. From the 1992 campaign of ethnic cleansing in eastern Bosnia to the three-year siege of Sarajevo, this was the theatre of some of the worst violence in mainland Europe since World War II.

He was imprisoned there as a child with his mother and escaped to Germany at the age of 6 as a refugee. After spending a few years in the United States, he returned to Germany, where he began abusing drugs and was imprisoned for a petty crime at 19. He became aware of ISIS at the age of 21, and joined the group with friends he met in jail, arriving in Syria in August 2014.
Six months after joining, he returned to Germany but fearing another spell in jail went back to Syria.
“The process [of joining] was easy,” Hasik told ABC News.
In the same month he joined, ISIS captured the town of Sinjar during their surge through much of northern Iraq and Syria. There, they began a comprehensive attack on the Yazidis, slaughtering many and capturing women and girls as sex slaves.
When asked to answer for ISIS’ innumerable atrocities and crimes, Hasik, who now wants to return to Germany, proclaims his innocence.
“I was just a policeman,” he said. “We just caught people doing drugs and things like that. I was just doing a job. This war is dirty. And I'm fed up with war. I want to live a normal life with my family and kids.”
The prisoner, who is married and has two children in Germany, said he is “finished with Islamic State.”

Does he expect to be released?
“Yes, of course,” he said. “Because I didn't break no law in my eyes.”
Yet Hasik, who was stationed in the former ISIS strongholds of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa during the two years he spent with the extremist group, showed no remorse for their crimes in the Middle East or the attacks they inspired in the U.S., Sri Lanka and around the world.
Asked several times how he felt about ISIS victims -- some of whom Pannell named, including Kayla Mueller -- the Bosnian national was both frightening and unflinching.
“I didn't write their destiny,” he said. “This is their destiny.”
In 2017, Hasik surrendered to American forces. He is now in the highest-level security prison in northern Iraq, which is estimated to hold thousands of terror suspects.
But with more than a hundred ISIS prisoners reportedly on the loose having escaped from Syrian jails, the group is down, but not out. Security analysts are concerned they have become emboldened since Turkish forces launched a military incursion into Kurdish-held territory earlier this month.

The death of al-Baghdadi, hailed as a major victory for the Trump administration in the region, is unlikely to deter them, according to Hasik.
The prisoner’s take on the significance of the ISIS founder's death, as part of a U.S. special forces raid, was damning. Asked if he thought people were safer after his death, Hasik said, “I think now maybe in Europe something is going to happen because many people may be upset about this thing.”
Although President Trump asserts that the ISIS caliphate no longer exists, Hasik said. “that doesn’t matter."
"The people exist. The people are there.” According to Hasik, al-Baghdadi's death makes "no difference."
“Maybe it is going to become worse,” he said. “It’s more dangerous than before.”
