SARAJEVO, Jan 18: Bosnian authorities handed over to the US embassy on Friday six Arabs who had been detained in the country on suspicion of involvement in terrorism but whose release was ordered by a local court, a Bosnian official said.

Ivica Misic, head of Bosnia’s anti-terrorism team, said the six Arabs were handed over to US embassy staff early on Friday. He could not say whether they had already been taken out of the country.
