Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily reported October 1 a Global Information System (GIS) report from Sarajevo that the Saudi and Iranian governments are working through Bosnian terrorist groups to support Chechen Islamist terrorist and guerilla operations against the Russian government.
A secret Wahabbi terrorist organization, Kvadrat (Quadrant), whose membership practice "Islam from the roots," was founded in Sarajevo in 1995. Kvadrat has expanded dramatically during 2004 in operations and funding by opening a new string of offices and facilities in Bosnia and in the Raska (Sandzak) Muslim area of southern Serbia. A new base for future operations is being built in Turkish-occupied Northern Cyprus.

"The young Kvadrat members have been brainwashed for a decade; since they were little children in most cases. They have been taught to believe that only their zealous approach to Islam is correct; they are fanatical." |
The report claims that individuals who were orphaned as children during the Bosnia-Herzegovina civil war are being indoctrinated and trained in the Wahabbist ideology and in the tactics of terrorism and guerilla warfare. These trained personnel are sent through the "green transversal," a narco-trafficking safe-haven line, that runs from Bosnia, through Turkey and Georgia, to Chechnya, where they join the al-Qaida-supported Chechen Islamist terrorist operations.

Since this is linked to a blog, this is the only place to post this, correct? Hard news stories, not otherwise available on the internet, would seem to command a wider audience. At any rate, the topics for blog posts should include "War on Terror" and the broader subject of "Foreign Affairs."
Wallaby,
Personally I think you should be able to post this under Foreign Affairs, but I'm not a moderator unfortunately. I hope it still gets read by those interested in the Balkans, although the exposure will probably be limited in the "blogs" section of FR.
Joan & FormerLib,
thought you two may find this interesting.
Thanks for forwarding me to the new thread Wallaby :)
