HL Deb 16 July 1996 vol 574 cc52-3WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the estimate of the numbers of the foreign Islamic military personnel still in Bosnia, under whose orders they are operating, and what is their role in Bosnian government military arrangements.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

It is impossible to assess the number of foreign Islamic personnel remaining in Bosnia and Herzegovina: some are members of Islamic non-governmental organisations while others have been largely assimilated into Bosnian life and have been granted Bosnian citizenship. However, we have no evidence of any organised foreign Islamic military force in Bosnia.
