Tirana police arrest Kosovo Albanians accused of terrorist acts
TIRANA, Albania (AP) _ Police have arrested three ethnic
Albanians, two of whom were accused by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo of terrorist acts, including kidnappings and killings, during the 1999-2001 period, a press released said Tuesday.
Florim Ejupi, 25, and Faik Shaqiri, 22, described as members of the underground Albanian National Army, were arrested on the basis of an international warrant.
The extremist group wants to unite all predominantly ethnic Albanian-populated areas of the Balkans and has in the past claimed responsibility for attacks on police and the military in both Macedonia and Serbia-Montenegro, the statement said.
Police did not mention any criminal record of Xhevat Kosuni, 36, the third man, who was found in the same Tirana apartment and taken into custody along with the two terrorist suspects.
Ejupi escaped in 2001 from Camp Bondsteel, the main U.S. army base in Kosovo, where he had been held on suspicion of involvement in a bus bombing in Podujevo in mid-February that year that killed 11 and wounded more than 40 Serbs on a religious pilgrimage in Kosovo.
He was found in possession of a false passport when arrested in Tirana.
Albanian police were completing documents for the extradition of the two suspects to U.N. police in Kosovo, spokeswoman Edlira Teferici said.
In April last year, the U.N. Mission in Kosovo declared the Albanian National Army a terrorist organization after it claimed responsibility for the bombing of a railway bridge in the north of the province.
Ping!!!
We'd better get out our stopwatches so we can see how long it is before they're released again.
That was my first thought, but I'm still hoping that they will get convicted. If there is justice at all....
Let's face it we bombed the wrong people.
Nobody asked us our opinion at the time, unfortunately, or I could have told them that. Of course, bombing Christians is exactly what the leftists and media presstitutes want since they're all socialist atheists. So as far as they're concerned we were on the correct side.
As their crimes go back to 1999, Faik Shaqiri would be only 17. I guess if Serb soldiers managed to kill him there'd be accused of killing an innocent boy, and not the terrorist-murderer that he already was.
Though he "escaped" from Bondsteel years ago, it appears his troubles are not over. Perhaps this is just a precaution arrest due to the Olympic games coming up. They'll just keep him in custody - a man who has sophisticated terrorist skills - until that's over, then he will "escape" again.
Thanks for the ping Nennsy!
Just out of curiousity, does anyone know how many people have "mysteriously" been able to escape from custody in Kosovo?
I don't have a precise number, but I believe is around 10-15. There is also one person named Flamur (in Albanian flag), can't remember his last name among those who escaped, and in 1999 on 29th of November, he shot 11 people (all alb.) and one Egyptian police officer. They still can't find him. He was 21 if I recall it well at the time he shot at these people.
There is just one thing that I have to mention. Most of the people committing such acts are very, very young. It is not nice to be surrounded by youth capable of doing such things.
Of course, by saying this I'm not generalizing whole Albanian population, but it is also evident that a majority of Albanians prefers to "go with a flow", instead of standing up against this trend that is wide spread in Kosovo.
More of Clinton's KLA pals arrested for murder..........
