Bosnia peacekeepers dismantle 'terror group'

The Nato-led peacekeepers in Bosnia say they have dismantled what they called a terrorist organisation working inside the county.

A spokesman said the soldiers, international police and the local authorities had arrested a number of Bosnians and people from Middle Eastern countries during the operation.

He said an investigation was under way into their possible links with the organisation suspected of having carried out last month's attacks in the United States.

Press reports say the Bosnian organisation may have been planning attacks against the bases of American peacekeepers in the country.
