Swedish National Among Suspected Terrorists Arrested in Bosnia

A Swedish national has been detained in Bosnia on charges of masterminding a terrorist attack in Scandinavia.

Bosnian police have nabbed five men who are suspected of plotting a terrorist attack in Scandinavia, sources said.

"We have arrested five people suspected of terror crimes. One of them is a Swedish citizen," a Bosnian police spokesperson said. The remaining four are Bosnian nationals.

The arrests were made as a result of a coordinated operation which also involved officials from the Netherlands and Sweden.

However, Sweden doesn't consider the event terror-related, according to police spokesman Andreas Fahlen. ABC News quoted Fahlen as saying, "This has to do with criminal activities in southern Sweden. Police in southern Sweden have been cooperating with foreign police in this matter."
