Operation Eagle's Flight (Montenegrin: Операција Орлов лет, romanized: Operacija Orlov let) was the name of an anti-terrorist operation conducted by the Montenegrin police to arrest a group of Albanians who planned terrorist attacks and an armed conflict in Albanian-inhabited parts of Montenegro. The group of 17 people planned operations from 2004 until their arrest on the night of 10 September 2006.[1] Weapons and explosive material were found in police raids. The group of 17 people were arrested on suspicion of terrorist actions in the 2006 Montenegrin parliamentary election and to create a separate Albanian region in Montenegro.[2][3] The group was organised by an Albanian association based in Detroit and members of the Albanian National Army, from which they received financial aid and smuggled arms into Montenegro. The group was given a total sentence of 51 years of prison.[1][2][3][4] Relations between the state and the Albanian minority strained after the event.[5]
