Yugoslavia Jails 11 For Terrorism
Eleven Yugoslavs convicted last month of Croatian terrorist activities were sentenced to prison terms ranging from seven months to 15 years, the state-run Tanjug news agency reported Friday.
The trial at the Zagreb district court, which ended April 26, was the last in a series of three involving 29 people charged with terrorist activities allegedly aimed at splitting Croatia from the rest of Yugoslavia.
Croatian extremists formed a Croatian state during World War II with the support of the Nazis, and the Yugoslav government maintains that they are still active abroad, mostly in West Germany.
