9/11 attacks
BBC Monitoring European. London: May 9, 2008.
Excerpt from report by Bosnia-Hercegovina Federation public TV, on 5 May
[Host Bakir Hadziomerovic] On last night's [Bosnian] Federation Television
prime-time news, it was reported that the OHR [Office of the High
Representative] anti-corruption team was completing an extensive investigation
against several individuals involved in economic crime, aiding war criminals and
terrorist activities worldwide as well as individuals involved in the wide
network of construction mafia. Based on reliable information, tonight we are
revealing the names of the people whose illegal, criminal and terrorist
activities have already been proven by the anti-corruption team.
According to exclusive confirmations [that we have received], the investigation
conducted by OHR experts concerns Hasan Cengic, member of the SDA [Party of
Democratic Action] Main Board and a person who during the aggression against our
country was the master of the TWRA [Vienna-based Muslim charity suspected of
helping smuggle arms into Bosnia and channelling funds to radical Islamists]
donor chest. In addition to Cengic's criminal undertakings involving donated
funds worth several million, which "60 Minutes" has repeatedly reported on in
detail, the anti-corruption team has allegedly come into possession of a
document in which Hasan Cengic personally signed a money transfer intended for
the Al-Qai'dah 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
[Passage omitted: on other investigations]
According to reliable and confirmed information from diplomatic quarters, the
anti-corruption team will soon submit all the gathered documentation proving
brutal criminality as well as involvement in terrorist activities and in the
hiding of war criminals to the B-H [Bosnia-Hercegovina] prosecutor's office
special department for organized crime, after which arrests and trials of those
responsible will ensue.
