Early on Sunday morning, around 50 special policemen, without shooting or provoking any incidents, arrested Xhemail Iseni in his home in the village of Lojane. Iseni was taken back to the Skopje prison where he has 5 years left to serve for terrorism. He will be separately tried for escaping from prison and keeping weapons in his home.

Iseni's relative known as NLA commander Tushi threatened before TV cameras on Sunday to avenge his uncle by kidnapping Prime Minister Gruevski and Interior Minister Gordana Jankulovska.
