Six Islamist terrorists arrested in Kosovo; Implicated in attack on Mormon Missionaries

Six terror suspects arrested in Kosovo with ties to Syria

Six ethnic Albanians suspected of plotting a terrorist attack inspired by extreme Islamist ideology, including two believed to have fought alongside Syrian rebels, have been arrested in Kosovo, officials said Tuesday. A seventh suspect remains at large.

Two of the men are also suspected of attacking two American Mormon missionaries in the capital, Pristina, two days before their Nov. 5 arrest, a senior police official involved with the investigation said.

Authorities have grown increasingly worried about the rise of extremism in a country with a strong presence of NATO peacekeepers, including hundreds of U.S. troops. Authorities had followed the cell for three months after intercepting a call allegedly plotting an attack with another person of Kosovo descent in an unnamed European country, said the police official, who is part of a team that deals with terrorist threats.
