The Bosnia-Hercegovina Federation defense minister, Mijo Anic, described the allegations of the SDA (Party of Democratic Action) about the sales of arms to Israel as “utterly tendentious.”  

 

In the latest issue of the Ljiljan weekly, it was alleged that the Bosnian government sold 41 reconnaissance armoured vehicles together with ammunition to Israel. Originally, these vehicles were allegedly a donation of Arab countries within the Equip and Train program. 

 

However, the Bosnian defense minister, Mijo Anic, considered such allegations as misinformation aimed at diverting the attention of the publicity from the discovered arms caches in Mostar. No arms were sold to Israel, he asserted. 

 

According to the Bosnian news agency, Minister Anic and his deputy declared their intention to sue Ljiljan weekly. (Albawaba.com)
