Several Bosnian nationals were allegedly among the hundreds of Islamic State (IS) fighters who were captured since the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) besieged Baghouz, the last IS enclave east of the river Euphrates, a few weeks ago.

Expert on terrorism and professor at the Sarajevo Faculty of Political Science, Vlado Azinovic, posted on Twitter several photos of Bosnian nationals who surrendered.

Among them are Amir Selimovic and Alija Keserovic.

Selimovic in 2016 threatened the head of Bosnia’s Islamic Community, Husein Effendi Kavazovic, with decapitation in a video message.

Keserovic has been the subject of an Interpol Red Notice since 2017.

 The IS fighters are surrendering as part of an evacuation of the area which has seen 2,000 people already leaving Baghouz.

The exact total number of IS fighters who have surrendered is at this time unknown, Reuters reported.
