Ex-Macedonian minister arrested
克羅地亞警方逮捕了馬其頓前內(nèi)務(wù)部長(zhǎng)柳貝·博什科夫斯基,指控他當(dāng)年在任期間策劃殺害了7名非法移民,并把他們描述成“恐怖分子”,以此來(lái)顯示馬其頓政府支持美國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的反恐戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。  

Mr Boskovski is accused of trying to impress the US (BBC)

Police in Croatia have arrested a former Macedonian minister over allegations he ordered the murders of seven South Asian men in March 2002.

At the time of the deaths, then-Interior Minister Ljube Boskovski said the men were Islamic militants.

But prosecutors say the men were innocent and their deaths were staged in an attempt to make Macedonia appear active in the US-led war on terror.

Mr Boskovski, who also has Croatian citizenship, has denied the charges.

He was arrested in Bale village in Croatia's north-west. He has been living openly there since May, when he fled Macedonia after Macedonian authorities issued a warrant for his arrest.

Six other men, including several police officers, have also been charged with the murders of the six Pakistanis and one Indian months after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.

Mr Boskovski says he has taped proof that the men were planning terrorist attacks and "absolutely" denies allegations that the killings were staged.

At the time, Macedonia was recovering from serious fighting between its security forces and mainly Muslim Albanian militants.

Croatian law does not allow the extradition of its citizens for trials abroad.

However, Macedonian authorities on Monday transferred the handling of the case to Croatia.

A Croatian judge will now assess Macedonia's case against Mr Boskovski and decide whether to order a trial or drop the charges.
