BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) - Bosnian Serb police arrested five
people suspected in a car-bomb attack that critically wounded a
journalist last year, the United Nations said Friday.
Zeljko Kopanja, chief editor of the independent newspaper Nezavisne
Novine, lost his legs when a bomb exploded in his car in October.
Kopanja had received written threats because he wrote articles alleging
Serb soldiers committed atrocities against Muslims during the Bosnian
war.
The break in the case came after two businessmen also reported
receiving threatening letters, said Alun Roberts, U.N. spokesman in
Banja Luka.
``These letters, brought to the police, were similar to the one Kopanja
received last year before he became a victim of bomb attack,'' Roberts
said. It was unclear why the businessmen had been threatened.
On Thursday night, a bomb explosion destroyed the car of the Bosnian
Serb education minister, Nenad Suzic, in Banja Luka, Roberts said.
There were no casualties, but five other vehicles in the parking lot
were damaged.
