Three Arabs charged over Bosnian car bomb

The authorities in Bosnia-Hercegovina have charged three Arabs over a car bombing in the city of Mostar in September, which seriously injured more than 20 people.

Speaking on Croatian Television, the Interior Minister of the Muslim-Croat Federation Mehmed Zilic said two of the suspects were already under arrest and the third was on the run.

The car bombing -- one of the worst incidents in Bosnia since the war -- happened outside a station of the multi-ethnic federal police in the Croat-held west of Mostar.

Correspondents say Bosnian officials believe the bomb was intended to worsen ethnic tension in Mostar, which remains divided between Muslims and Croats.
