(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The ammunition used for the Charlie Hebdo attack was produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1986, Bosnian vice-minister of defense, Zivko Marjanac, confirmed, as reported by Dnevni Avaz. Marjanac said that on one of the shells used by the terrorists bore the acronym 'IK Konjic 1986', meaning that the ammunition was produced in the Igman Konjic factory in 1986.

"The factory used to be a part of the Yugoslav army, therefore this ammunition had been distributed (across former Yugoslavia), from Slovenia to Macedonia", Marjanac added, excluding the possibility that the terrorists had received the projectiles directly from the Bosnian army. "We don't know where it arrived from, but it was indeed made in Bosnia", Marjanac added. "We've had a war here and even today every second house still has 20 projectiles - how can we know that somebody has not sold them privately?", vice-minister concluded, adding that Igman Konjic is still exporting its ammunition to the United States.(ANSA).
