A massive brawl that occurred between Croat and Muslim students in the Bosnian city of Mostar is blamed on Wahabis, suggests the report by the NGO Croatia Libertas.
“It is about groups that have a radical interpretation of Islam and influence the youth. The attacks have spread on all high schools in Mostar,” says Leo Plockinic, representative from Croati Libertas.
Plockinic says that the organized Wahabis are armed with light weapons.
Police spokeswoman Lejla Trivun said that 5 teens have been arrested over the weekend.
She said that on Sunday evening students gathered on both sides of the Boulevard, a street that demarcates Croatian and Islamic part of Mostar. Youngsters were gathering rocks with an intent to start the violence.
Wahabis have been involved in a string of attacks across Bosnia. Croatians have been targeted in particular. Last week, two Wahabis sought to enter a Catholic church at wee hours seeking to “silence” the church bells.
