Two Soldiers Shot Dead in Bosnian Capital

Source: Balkan Insight

Police in Bosnia's Canton of Sarajevo said a man killed two members of the Bosnian Army inside a betting shop in the suburb of Rajlovac at around 7:30 pm.

The reasons for the attack are unknown but television N1 reported that the attacker shouted the Islamist slogan "Allahu Akbar" before shooting the soldiers. This report has not been confirmed.

Unless "God is Great" is an Christianist slogan.
