17 arrested after US attack in Serbia

Serbian police raided homes in the largely Muslim Sandzak region on Saturday, detaining 17 people following the attack on the US embassy in Sarajevo in neighbouring Bosnia, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said.

'This morning at 5 am an operation against the extremist Islamic Wahhabi movement was launched on the territory of Novi Pazar, Sjenica and Tutin,' Dacic said. Propaganda material relating to the movement, which is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia, had been seized, he said.

Serbian police director Milorad Veljovic said the operation in Sandzak, a largely Muslim region straddling south-western Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia, by the elite gendarme and anti-terrorist units, had been concluded. He hinted that more arrests were possible, broadcaster B92 reported.

Police also searched the Novi Pazar home of Mevlid Jasarevic, who opened fire at the US embassy with a Kalashnikov Friday afternoon, reportedly wounding two people. No diplomatic staff were hurt.
