The presence of Al Qaeda in the Balkans is much exaggerated when it has not been totally fabricated. Surely with so "many" Al Qaeda in the Balkans and with tens of thousands of U.S. troops there over the past 10 years, there must have been a lot of American casualties, right? Or at least a few? Well how about one? Any? Well, surely there must be some Albanian & Bosniak prisoners at GTMO, right? About the same number as American casualties to Al Qaeda in the Balkans: zero.
You are a victim of the very vociferous Serb nationalist propaganda machine which turns every adversary into a jihadist. They have had some problems doing that to the Catholic Croats, but instead have used the expedient of labelling them as Nazis as though the Ustase was still in charge. Good luck on the Balkans threads!
James Jatras, a former analyst for the Senate, recently gave testimony concerning al-Qaeda's origins in Bosnia. You can't keep shouting "It's a lie!" at the truth and expect it to go away.
I didn't realize this was "propoganda":
