Are these two Bosnians Islamic jihadis? Maybe, but there is no way to tell for sure given the reticence of German authorities. If they aren’t, this is still a cautionary tale: if these two men can get 17 functional hand grenades across the border, jihadis can get weapons across the border as well.
“Close the borders now! Bosnians arrive in Germany with 17 hand grenades,” translated from “Macht endlich die Grenzen zu! Bosnier reisen mit 17 Handgranaten nach Deutschland ein,” PolitikStube, February 19, 2019 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):
The entry for criminals of all stripes into Germany is an easy game; that is the price for a Europe without controls at national borders. Now in Dresden, two Bosnians were stopped by the Federal Police; in their car, 17 functional hand grenades were found. What the 17-year-old and 28-year-old had planned is not yet known…
Bild.de reports:
Alarm at Dresden Central Station: a Mercedes ML320, an SUV with Bosnian license plate, had been parked all afternoon in the parking lot on the Bayrische Straße. Federal police officers then checked the two people in the car, Bosnians, aged 17 and 28 years.
The two men were initially taken for interrogation on suspicion of illegal entry. The officers took a small amount of drugs out of a suspect’s bag. Thereupon a beagle from customs searched the Bosnian car. It did not find drugs, but nevertheless, it did find something. A spokeswoman for the Federal Police said: “Hidden in the trunk, we finally discovered 17 hand grenades.”
The LKA was called in. Experts secured the explosives and transported them away. Whether an attack was planned is not yet known. The investigations are ongoing. The spokeswoman stated: “The hand grenades, however, were functional.”

Bosnians are generally the most laid-back, non-observant Muslims on the planet, but not since Soddy Barbaria opened its own Salafist mosques in Bosnia, training the Bosnians to become genocidal Zombie murderers.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Agreed, mortimer. I would further add that while Islam exists, no Muslim is safe, no matter how laid-back. This might sound like I’m talking gibberish, but what I mean is that so long as a single Muslim revers the Qur’an as beyond reproach, it doesn’t matter how “cultural” or “liberal” or “moderate” or “reformed” the rest of the 1.7 billion are, the whole thing can kick off again, starting with just that one Muslim fulfilling his Qur’anic obligations. Islam truly is the ultimate curse. Greek tragedy had nothing on this.
LB says
Yes, Mortimer. In the first place, today there are actually more atheist that muslim Bosnains, and even they are mostly MINO’s (muslim in name only). That’s because they are SLAVS before they are muslims. Bosnia was originally a name of a duchy when Southern Slavs — Serbs, Croats and Slavonians; all named after the countries they founded, but genetically they are all the same people — first moved to Balkans. There were no Bosnian people. Bosnians were invented when Ottoman Turks conquered the region and divided the Slavs who converted to islam (to avoid the brutalities of muslim Turks) and the Christian Slavs who refused to convert.
Even the majority of hardline muslim Bosnians (not counting Turkish and Saudi educated imams) are only actually muslim in order to more closely identify as Bosnian nationalists just to spite the Orthodox Serbs and Catholic Croats, because in the Balkans being muslim is more or less synonymous to being Bosnian (as well as Kosovo Albanian, but they go by a different name). So paradoxically, islam in Bosnia is only still there because of nationalism, which means that unlike real muslims, they have NO desire for a global muslim Ummah.
Or Else! says
That’s why I refer to them as Izlombies.

Jay says
But were they “assault” grenades? hahahahah
keith Oades says
NO, the grenades were for peaceful purposes and were simply misunderstood by Islamophobic guards who unfairly targeted these poor peaceful Muslims.
CRUSADER says
Europe was so smart about this Open Borders thing.
Rufolino says
Why are you criticising what the Pope admonished them to do ??
