British Police Suspected of Terrorism Are Freed
Two British policemen who spent two months in Yugoslavia’s military jail on suspicion of terrorism flew out of Belgrade Saturday after the country’s new authorities freed them.
The Yugoslav army arrested Adrian Prangnell and John Yore along with Canadians Shaun Going and Liam Hall in the area between Kosovo and Montenegro in early August.
“It’s been a bit of an adventure, we’re just glad it’s all over and we can get back to our families,” Yore told reporters at Belgrade airport.
Yore, Prangnell and Hall were released on Friday after Slobodan Milosevic was swept from power.
Going, who faces charges of the minor offense of carrying mining equipment without authorization, remained in custody.
