2006-12-04 Defence Minister Henk Kamp issues citations to soldiers from the Dutchbat III unit that were involved in the fall of the Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica. The badge serves as a symbol of recognition for the 850 soldiers who were at Srebrenica when the Serbian army overran the UN-declared safe haven in July 1995. The ceremony sparked protests and criticism from Srebrenica victims' families
2006-12 Bosnia and Herzegovina persecutors launched an investigation into the operations of several “charities” suspected of money laundering. Among them are United Arab Emirates-based Dar el Bir, the International Islamic Relief Organization Igasa, the Kuwait Joint Relief Committee, and the Kuwaiti-based Revival of Islamic Heritage Society.
Three more organizations are also under investigation.
2006-10-12 "Jihad ... means struggle, and specifically struggle in the way of God. This struggle may take many forms, including the use of force."
38 distinguished Islamic religious authorities, including Grand Muftis in Turkey, Egypt, Russia, Syria, Kosovo, Bosnia and Uzbekistan in an Oct. 12 "Open Letter to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI"
2006-09 “Many and many politicians and spiritual leaders in EU countries think in this way. I think the Pope Benedict XVI is not deeply sorry for his statement about Islam. He is sorry because his speech lures a severe reaction from the Islam peoples. Many EU politicians do not see any place for Turkey in EU because Turkey is a Muslim country. If the EU is only a Christian club, I think Turkey should not be part of it. Because Turkey is a secular country and I am personally against to be part of a Middle Ages understanding. If the EU wants to be a Middle Ages institution, so it cannot integrate the religions and ethnic groups of the European continent. There are more than 100 million Muslims in Europe. The millions of Muslims live at the heart of London, Berlin, Paris etc. Most of them are not immigrant but EU citizens, yet they cannot see the German or French Government as their own government. There are also many Euro-Muslim countries, yet none of them is EU member, including Turkey, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Azerbaijan and Northern Cyprus Republic. I agree with Mr. Stoiber, Turkey has no place in a Christianity-based Europe. If the EU will be such a narrow-minded organization, Turkey should be outside of this discriminative structure and religious fundamentalism. It is really difficult to see any difference between Mr. Stoiber and Osame Bin Ladin in seeding religious hate. Europe is at a very critical stage as it was before the Second World War. Now the Turkish and Muslim peoples of the European continent can understand better what the European Jewish people felt before and during the Second World War. Turkey has always been a great opportunity to bridge Christians and Muslims, but I understand that we have lost that chance already”.
-- Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sedat Laciner, head of the Ankara-based USAK
2006 Between 1989 and 2003, the United States engaged in significant military actions overseas on nine occasions under Bush I, Clinton and Bush II: Panama in 1989, Somalia in 1992, Haiti in 1994, Bosnia in 1995-96, Kosovo in 1999, Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq three times -- 1991, 1998 and 2003, an average of one major military action every year and a half
2005-10 Police in Bosnia arrested a cyber-jihadist who called himself “Maximus”, a Swedish teenager of Bosnian extraction called Mirsad Bektasevic. He and three others were later sentenced to jail terms of up to 15 years for plotting attacks that were to take place either in Bosnia or in other European countries.

Among the material recovered from Mr Bektasevic's flat, police found 19kg of explosives, weapons, a video with instructions for making a suicide vest and a video recording of masked men proclaiming their membership of “al-Qaeda in northern Europe”. On his computer they found evidence of contacts with other jihadists across Europe. Among them was Irhabi007.
2004-12 Nato hands over peacekeeping duties in Bosnia to a new European Union-led force, Eufor.
2003 Bosnia's wartime president Alija Izetbegovic died.
2001-11-01 "For the past 10 years, the most senior leaders of al Qaeda have visited the Balkans: The Egyptian surgeon turned terrorist leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri has operated terrorist training camps, weapons of mass destruction factories and money-laundering and drug-trading networks throughout Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Bosnia.
Many recruits to the Balkan wars came originally from Chechnya, a jihad in which al Qaeda has also played a part."
-- The Wall Street Journal, in an article titled “Al Qaeda’s Balkan Links”
2001-04 Karim Said Atmani, a Moroccan with a Bosnian passport issued to Said Hodjic, was arrested and deported to France
