The head of the Islamic community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mustafa Ceric, has condemned the 9/11 terrorist attacks on their ninth anniversary and extended condolences to the victims' families and the entire US people, Bosnian print media said on Saturday.
Ceric did so in a letter to the charge d'affaires at the US Embassy in Bosnia, Jonathan Moore, saying that Bosnian Muslims had authorised him to condemn on their behalf, in strong and unambiguous terms, any form of violence and terror, "notably if someone commits it in the name of faith or political hatred".
"Just like the American people shows compassion for our painful memory of July 11 in Srebrenica, today we are by the American people as it sadly remembers September 11," Ceric said, voicing hope that 9/11 would never happen to anyone again.
In Srebrenica, eastern Bosnia, Bosnian Serb troops killed more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys after they entered that enclave on 11 July 1995.
