Bosnian Arrested Over Nightclub Bomb Attack

Police detained Emir Pajazetovic on suspicion of injuring about 30 people when he allegedly threw an explosive device into a disco in Velika Kladusa after being thrown out of the club.

Pajazetovic, 30, was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of causing the blast in the nightclub in the north-western Bosnian town, in which he and some 30 others were wounded.

Media reports claimed that he was causing trouble at the club by insulting customers and was ejected by bouncers. When he tried to go back in, he was denied entry, and later returned with the bomb.

‘Police are investigating all the circumstances related to this attack, as well as the motive, and whether Pajazetovic threw a bomb because he was removed from the facility or because he had a problem with some of the guests in the discotheque,’ said police spokesman Ale Siljdedic.

Media reports also alleged that two years ago, Pajazetovic threw a bomb into an empty café, and that he was recently released from prison after committing other crimes.
