Local Editor

A suspected member of the Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"] group has been arrested at Sarajevo airport, media and police said on Monday.

The 19-year-old Bosnian, arrested Saturday after arriving on a flight from Istanbul, was sought by Bosnian authorities for "terrorism" and "organizing a terrorist group", border police said in a statement without elaborating.

Local media identified the man as Almir Dzimic and said he had joined Daesh in Syria in 2014.

He had previously lived in a village near the northern Bosnian town of Maglaj, known as a stronghold of radicalism, reports said.
