Al-Qaeda in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Al-Qaeda in Bosnia and Herzegovina was the al-Qaeda branch formed during the Bosnian War in 1992. Through 2015 the opening said the group, operating through the Saudi High Commission, carried out the terrorist attack in Mostar in 1997. Today the opening carries none of this, though the word survives 8 times in the body. A reader arriving now learns that the group operated through the Saudi High Commission after the war, and not that it carried out a terrorist attack in Mostar.
