Suspects in Serbia attack include man previously held for running jihadi websites

Serbia’s interior minister says the suspects arrested after the attack on Israel’s embassy include a man from Belgrade who was already held two years ago for being the administrator of several militant internet sites that called for “jihad,” or holy war, but was released from custody.

“It is suspected that he directly participated in the logistical support and organization of this terrorist act,” says Minister Ivica Dacic.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Israel Katz thanks Serbian authorities for their “strong support and cooperation following the attempted terror act on the Embassy of Israel in Belgrade today.”

“Terrorism cannot be tolerated!”
