A man has opened fire on the US Embassy in Bosnia, injuring at least one Bosnian police officer. Officials have labeled the shooting a "terrorist attack" and have blamed it on a Muslim extremist.

A man opened fire outside the US embassy in Bosnia on Friday in what authorities have labeled an act of terrorism.

At least one police officer was injured in the attack in the capital, Sarajevo, which after a 30-minute standoff with police ended with the gunman being shot. He was arrested with wounds and was reportedly being treated in a hospital. The embassy said none of its employees had been injured....more...

The Results Of Hate Speech And Inaction In Bosnia

radio free europe
October 31, 2011

By Nenad Pejic
Last week, 23-year-old Mevlik Jasarevic made headlines when he got off a tram outside the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo and began firing an automatic rifle.
But his journey began several hours earlier that morning, when he crossed the border from Serbia into Bosnia-Herzegovina. Jasarevic is a Serbian citizen.
Stepping from tram No. 3, Jasarevic reportedly yelled "Run! Run away!" at passersby as he pulled an AK-47 from his backpack and began to fire. He continued to shoot for some 20 minutes before a police sniper shot him in the leg. It was later revealed that he had two explosives on him, but he apparently made no attempt to activate them. In fact, he stood calmly at the tram stop throughout the incident, making no effort to leave or to take cover....more...

In Kosovo, Smuggling Fosters Unusual Ethnic Cooperation

ny times
By DOREEN CARVAJAL

Published: October 24, 2011
MITROVICA, Kosovo — For three months, this gritty mining town has been a hot spot of Balkan ethnic tension ominous enough to prompt new deployments of armed NATO peacekeepers and action by the European Union to slow Serbia’s long-sought bid for membership.
In the long siege at makeshift gravel barricades, ethnic Serbs hurled rocks toward ethnic Albanians on the other side of the Ibar River, and this summer, hooded men in shorts and sneakers firebombed a border-control station, stoking fears among Western powers that ethnic clashes could spin out of control in northern Kosovo....more...

Bosnian US embassy attack


A gunman fires on the US embassy in Sarajevo
Oct 28th 2011, 19:03 by T.J.
A DRAMATIC day in Sarajevo. A man identified as Mevlid Jasarevic, aged 23, began shooting at the American embassy. He was then shot and wounded by Bosnian police. Balkan Insight has the full story with footage which you can see here. The initial evidence would seem to point to a psychiatric case rather than a well-planned terrorist attack. From the film the attacker can be seen with beard and Muslim garb. Reports suggest he is from Novi Pazar, in Sandzak, the Bosniak majority area of Serbia. Balkan Insight reports that an eyewitness said that the attacker “paced back and forth in front of the embassy for five minutes, screaming 'Bring me an American, I want an American.'" ...more....
