Bosnia- Madrid Connections

The following persons are suspected of having provided the blasting caps for the Madrid bombing. They are part of a large group operating in Bosnia. Members of the group belong to Wahabbi sect of Sunni Islam, and they are involved in terrorist training of youth, religious indoctrination, and weapons smuggling operations across the Balkans.

1. Alibaba Selimbašić; real name Sead Kahriman. He is the man with the best connections. We have indications that he is currently in the vicinity of Tešanj, promoting militant Islam. He pays young Bosniaks to attend “military training” and Islamic lessons. Has links to the Wahabbis. On his instructions, Zehrudin Omerović “Beli” (Whitey) and Osman Selimbašić purchased weapons and material needed for Wahabbi terrorism. There are indications that Selimbašić is currently seeking SAMs, from Stingers to Russian Strela-2s produced in Pakistan, in the Balkan black markets. The name Kahriman is linked to another active Wahabbi, one Ferid Tatarević, whose parents are Muhamed and Rasema Kahriman. Ferid was born March 20, 1956, in Zenica, and lives at Ulica Armije BiH 4, Zenica.

He has an associate nicknamed “Lopov” (Thief) who is also engaged in weapons trafficking for the needs of Islamic fundamentalists (and others as well).

3. Nedim Alagić lives and works in Goražde, meeting frequently with the Wahabbis at the nearby Kriva Draga hill, at the old headquarters of the Bosnian Army's Rogatica Brigade.
