ZAGREB, Dec 20 (NNN-HINA) – Five of the men who were deported from Syria to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday have been remanded in one-month custody over their ties to terrorism, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed on Friday.
The five men, for whom international arrest warrants for terrorism have been issued before, are part of a group of seven men who were flown into Sarajevo on Thursday aboard a special US military aircraft from Syria, reported Croatian news agency HINA.
The other two men have been placed in police custody for regular processing because there were no arrest warrants out for them.
The men were accompanied by six women and 12 children who were previously held in prisoner camps in Syria in the territory controlled by Kurdish and American forces.
The men have been identified as members of armed units of the terrorist organisation Daesh and other terror organisations operating in Syria.
