SARAJEVO, Nov 20: A Pakistani national has been arrested in Bosnia for allegedly threatening international prosecutors responsible for organized crime and corruption, police were quoted as saying by Srna news agency on Saturday.

Ahmed Istikhar, who lives in the central town of Zenica, is suspected of links to recent security threats received by the prosecutors, according to a police spokesman for the Muslim-Croat Federation, Robert Cvrtak.

Cvrtak said Istikhar was also allegedly involved in human trafficking and contraband trade, Srna reported.
