EULEX members carried out this operation only 24 hours after the first accused member of that organization, a former local commander and one of the heads of the intelligence service, Salih Mustafa, was taken to the specialist court for KLA crimes.

Hysni Gucati has been arrested and will be transferred to The Hague, said Nasim Haradinaj, vice president of the association.
