The State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has extended for two months the detention of Mevlid Jasarevic, an attacker on the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo, and his three accomplices, after the prosecutorial authorities on Monday proposed that they be remanded in custody after the expiry of their month-long detention.
Jasarevic, a member of the Wahhabi movement, fired shots at the US embassy in Sarajevo on 28 October. No one except him was injured in the incident. He sustained light injures when a Bosnian police sniper disabled him.
According to Thursday's issue of the Sarajevo-based Dnevni Avaz, during a police interrogation, Jasarevic said he would like to go to Afghanistan to die there as "a martyr", adding that he would not again open fire on the U.S. embassy as "they did not shoot at me".
