On Saturday, an armed individual was shot and killed in front of the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade by Serbian Police. The attacker had seriously injured an agent before being neutralized. The police spokesman commended the officer for eliminating the attacker and preventing further casualties.
The suspect has been identified as a 25-year-old Muslim convert named Milos Zujovic, also known as ‘Saladin’. There are suspicions that he may be linked to the ultra-conservative Wahhabi movement, although investigations are ongoing. Several people have been detained as a precaution, and security has been heightened in Belgrade.
The injured police officer underwent surgery after being struck by an arrow in the neck, which he reportedly removed himself. The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident as a terrorist attack but stated that no embassy staff were harmed. An autopsy will be performed on the attacker to determine more details about his identity.
The surgeon who treated the officer confirmed that he is stable and has been transferred to intensive care for further treatment. The city prosecutor will provide more information about the attacker after the autopsy. This incident highlights the ongoing importance of security measures in response to potential threats.
