Members

They were recruited by Alija Izetbegović's people to eliminate all potential political opposition. "Ševe", were controlled by individuals from the national leadership.

The practical segment implied activities against the "internal enemy". The political segment was expressed through the idea of preserving Bosniaks from being ethnically cleansed.[3]
