Al-Qaeda has set up bases in the province, which has become an important centre for heroin, cigarette, gasoline and people smuggling.
The Albanian mafia and paramilitary groups, which security officials say are closely tied to al-Qaeda militants in the region, also oversee smuggling. More than 80% of Western Europe's heroin comes through Kosovo, where several drug laboratories have been set up, Interpol officials say."
And, that is just some of the crap that is part of the hill/bill legacy!!
The truth is we supported Islamofascists out of Albania in their bid to gain the traditional capital provice of Serbia. The KLA was listed as a terrorist organization just one year before we joined them to stop the ethnic cleansing of their people. After all, more than 100,000 had been slaughtered by the evil Serbians. Now we see what intelligent people knew then... it was Al Qaeda.
Now the area is a hotbed of terrorism, drug running and organized crime while the feckless UN builds a wall around their compound for their own protection.
I saw this morning that Gen Weasely Clark had wrapped up his testimony in the Hague. The newscaster listed among Milosevic's crimes the death of hundreds. Amazing how they don't point out the LIES that put us in this particular unilateral military operation...
