Suspected Bosnian war criminal arrested living quietly in Alabama where he sold eggs to Walmart

A suspected Bosnian war criminal has been arrested hiding out in Alabama, where he had lived for decades as a “cool” neighbor who sold eggs to Walmart.

Hamdija Alukic, now a 70-year-old family man, was arrested by US Marshals in Mobile, Alabama, over the brutal murders of two civilians in war atrocities in 1992, WALA-TV reported.

In one, he and other paramilitaries allegedly ambushed a car before shooting at the driver and torching the vehicle with a body still inside, according to court docs seen by the outlet.

In the other, he allegedly spearheaded an attack where two homes were firebombed with people inside — with a cop later finding the burned remains of his father inside, according to the complaint.

Alukic moved to Wilmer, a rural area of Mobile, where his neighbors never expected his alleged dark ties to the war in which an estimated 100,000 people killed.

They were always cool,” one former neighbor told WALA of Alukic and his family.

“They had dogs, chickens and they would sell eggs to Walmart and stuff.

I’ve been over there a few times growing up and stuff,” said the neighbor.

“That just completely blows my mind cause I never seen that coming, that’s pretty wild.”

Alukic is being held without bond in the Baldwin County jail and he faces extradition to Bosnia.
