<i>A violent gesture</i>

The Serbian Orthodox Church in the southern Croatian town of Split said Wednesday it received a letter purporting to be from fans of Croatian First Division side Hajduk Split threatening ethnic Serbs and Jews with 'extermination.'
The letter signed with 'Hajduk Jugend,' a direct allusion to the 'Hitler Jugend' (Hitler Youth) glorified Croatia's World War II Nazi-allied regime and listed threats such as "Serbs should be hanged high," and "Juden Raus," the statement from the church said.
The church, which posted the letter on its website, added that Croatian police were investigating threats.
Media were already reporting last year that fans of Hajduk Split sold and wore T-shirts bearing Nazi symbols and reading 'Hajduk Jugend.'
Under its Nazi-allied Ustasha regime, hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, anti-fascist Croatians, Gypsies and others were killed in Croatian concentration camps during World War II.
