 However, it was lifted on August 1, 2008, just over two and a half months before the October 23 bombing, as there were no further threats in the months following the assassination attempt.The police released information that the possible assassin is Sretko Kalinić, a wanted executioner of the recently dissolved Zemun clan of Serbian mafia, who was in January 2008 sentenced "in absentia" to 40 years of prison in Serbia for eight assassinations and involvement in numerous other criminal activities including two abductions.His current whereabouts remain unknown, aside from having been spotted in Croatia the week before the bombing.
