Mujaheddin A Threat to Bosnia Hercegovina Security

Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) deputies in the lower chamber of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Parliament have announced that they will vote against the Law amending the law on citizenship, which foresees the acquisition of B-H citizenship by naturalization.

The adoption of this law would result in several thousand mujaheddin from Islamic countries gaining B-H citizenship despite the fact that during the war they committed horrific war crimes against the Serbs while fighting under the wing of the Bosnian Muslim B-H Army, warned SDS deputies.

"Instead of these crimes being condemned and the criminals (who committed them) being brought to justice now there is a desire to make it possible for these warriors of jihad to acquire B-H citizenship," said SDS official Cvijetin Nikolic.

The SDS is demanding accountability on the part of everyone who made it possible for mujaheddin to stay in B-H because they represent a great threat to peace and stability in the region.

"This situation makes the whole region unsafe for investment and prevents the creation of a more favorable visa regime," said Marija Perkanovic, a woman SDS deputy in the lower chamber of the B-H Parliament.

The SDS thinks that all mujaheddin should be urgently deported from B-H because that is the main prerequisite for this region to have the possibility of greater peace.

a little 'mecca' in the balkans thanks to clinton&co.

Part of the Dayton accords were that the Bosnian government would deport the mujahideen who came to their aid when Serbia invaded back in '92. With the exception of those who found themselves Bosnian wives (who number in the hundreds) the muj left, and those who remained behind were there throughout the entire decade long deployment of US troops with IFOR and SFOR. We still have a hundred odd intel types in Bosnia, keeping an eye on things, but generally it's not an exciting place to be for them - the last items of note were the arrest and deportation in 2002 of six foreign nationals whom we had the Bosnians arrest and then turn over to us when we declined to provide them with the necessary information to prosecute them, and the busting up of a 2005 suicide bombing plot which the Bosnians themselves are addressing in their court system.

You'll note that Bosnia to this day is a Christian majority State*, but the Muslims are a plurality because the Christians (Catholics and Orthodox) who are inclined to violence would just as happily slit each other's throats as that of a Muslim. Even with that, however, in the decade that Bosnia has been under international supervision, both the probability and the possibility of a re-ignition of the ethnic war there have diminished considerably, much to the dismay of the local ethnic party politicians who rely upon fearmongering to remain in power.

The Serbs went to war against the Bosnians under the rubric that they were fighting the Turks - Al Qaeda showed up, but given the local's (the Muslim local's) indifference or outright hostility to their cause and the presence of American and European intelligence agencies hunting them after 9/11, Bosnia has proven somewhat of a bust for Al Qaeda.

If you're interested in the subject, here's the definitive piece on the matter at present.

You may as well ship the Serbs to Britain's Muslim neighborhoods, as there is a far greater level of support for Osama's apocryphal visions and violent methods there than anywhere in the Serb's present neighborhood.
