Albania's government said on Friday it was looking into the sudden death of an arms industry figure who was helping prosecutors investigate a weapons sale to the United States and an explosion that killed 26 people.

Television pictures showed businessman Kosta Trebicka, his head covered in blood, sprawled on his back on a dirt road in a remote area of eastern Albania, where he had been hunting. His off-road car was nearby, and appeared to be damaged.

Gosh, why don’t we bring more Albanians over here? I am sure they could be just like our friendly MS13 gang bangers from the tropical south.

You obviously missed the memo a few years back Red, we HAVE brought them over here:

CNN --FBI: Albanian mobsters 'new Mafia'

Wednesday, August 18, 2004, WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Thousands of Albanians and others who fled the Balkans for the United States in recent years have emerged as a serious organized crime problem, threatening to displace La Cosa Nostra (LCN) families as kingpins of U.S. crime, top FBI officials said Wednesday

The Albanian criminal enterprises, operating largely in New York and other Eastern seaboard cities, represent a major challenge to federal agents because of their propensity for violence and brutality, the officials said.

"They are a hardened group, operating with reckless abandon," said Chris Swecker, the newly named FBI assistant director for the Criminal Investigative Division.....

I second that, generations of feuding.

Crazy backwardness.

"Is Albania a Muslim nation?"

Predominantly, yes. The Albanians in Kosovo, Macedonia and elsewhere in the Balkans are nearly 100% Muslim. As elsewhere, Muslims are the most aggressive ones.

The original story that this guy blew the whistle on also incriminated the US Ambassador to Albania, as well as others:

YouTube has a telephone conversation between 22 year old Efraim Diveroli, President of Miami based AEY, Inc. and (the late) Mr. Kosta Trebicka, an Albanian businessman in regards to ammunition purchases for US and Afghan troops. AEY Inc. became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan's army and police forces in 2003 and provided ammunition that was more than 40 years old and in decomposing packaging. The House Oversight Committee is currently investigating why the the Pentagon gave the inexperienced 22 year old a $300 million contract to provide ammunition to Afghanistan.
