What led the police to Zeljko Milovanovic (43), a suspect for installing a bomb that killed Nacional weekly co-founder Ivo Pukanic (47) and the paper`s marketing director Niko Franjic (37), was his reckless action of turning on an old mobile phone, Belgrade Press writes.

The police monitored the suspect born in Beli Manastir, who is a citizen of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, and arrested him, because they were convinced he was the man they were looking for.-.-Interpol-.-Zeljko Milovanovic
