Sarajevo - The Deputy Interior Minister of Bosnia's Muslim-Croat federation died yesterday almost two weeks after being injured by a car bomb attack, the BH Press news-agency reported.
Mr Jozo Leutar died in a Sarajevo hospital. Mr Leutar, who was praised by Western diplomats for fighting corruption, was leaving for work when a bomb wrecked his car on March 16th.
Bosnian Croat leaders branded the attack an "an act of terrorism" but there was no clear indication who was responsible. The incident came at a time when Bosnian Croats were increasingly complaining about their status inside the federation, which together with the Serb republic makes up post-war Bosnia.
