A former U.S. state Department official in October 2001 described Bosnia and Herzegovinaas a safe haven for terrorists, after it was revealed that militant elements of the former Sarajevo government were protecting extremists, some with tie to Osama Bin Laden. In 1997, Rzeczpospolita, one of the largest Polish daily newspapers, reported that intelligence services of the Nordic-Ploish SFOR Brigade suspected that a center for training terrorists from Islamic countries was located in the Bocina Donja village near Maglaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1992, hundreds of volunteers joined an "all-mujahedeen unit" called EI Moujahed in an abandoned hillside factory, a compound with a hospital and prayer hall.
