The suspicion that individuals linked to the Wahhabi movement conducted shooting exercises at this barracks has been confirmed by several sources from the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Individuals associated with the Wahhabi movement reportedly carried out live-fire training exercises at the military shooting range of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, located at the “Miralem Jugo” barracks in Livač, near Mostar. The case is under investigation by several security agencies, and there are efforts to cover it up due to the ties between Defense Minister Zukan Helez and the commander of the barracks, Major Muhamed Ganić.
According to the portal Provjereno, the two are in a very close relationship, and some sources indicate that Helez previously rewarded Ganić.
The shooting range at this barracks is primarily used for the training of police and special forces units and requires approval from the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this case, the approval was issued by Minister Zukan Helez. Among the organizations granted access to the range was the “Velež” Practical Shooting Club, which conducted exercises with live ammunition on February 16.
According to information from sources close to the investigation, it was determined that some of the training participants were linked to the Wahhabi movement. Investigators identified the presence of several individuals who stayed briefly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including four underage girls. Some of the participants came from Denmark and returned there after the exercises. Two individuals from France, with no ties to Bosnia and Herzegovina, also took part in the training.
After registering for access to the barracks, the group was reportedly escorted to the shooting range, where they conducted tactical exercises and live-fire shooting. It is suspected that minors and women were among them. A member of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina reported the suspicious group, prompting an internal military investigation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), the Intelligence-Security Agency (OSA), and EUFOR were all informed of the incident.
It was found that some of the participants held Bosnian documents and did not register as foreign nationals. This allowed them access without additional checks, even though they were residing abroad.
