Aw, evidence of a "hate crime" in the making. Good thing that wasn't over here in the U.S. They'd be strung up fast. NOT!
were they planning to blow it up during services on Christmas?
However, the KLA in part had several ties to terrorism. The KLA raises part of their funds from the sale of narcotics. Albania and Kosovo are at the heart of the " Balkan Route" that links Afghanistan and Pakistan to the drug markets of Europe. This roue is work an estimated 400 billion a year and it handles 80% of heroin destined for Europe. But, it is acknowledged, that Bin Laden's Al Queda had " both trained and financially supported," the Albanians, and that the Kosovo border had been infiltrated by Bosnian, Chechen and Afghan, mujaheedeen, in " crossings, of parties up to 50 men." " Documents found on the body of a KLA member showed that he had escorted several " volunteers" into Kosovo, including more than a dozen Saudis. Each " volunteer" carried a passport identifying him as a Macedonian Albanian."
....................................
Shortly fter the formation of the first mujadidin unit, a second mujadidin group started out from Albania toward Kosovo. On the night of July 18-19, 1998, that group had two misfortunes. The first was " meeting" a patrol of the Yugoslav Army Border Control. The second, the group was supposed to be led, by a Lt. Colonel in the Iraqi army, Nuri Salif Muhamed, who had attempted to enter Kosovo, from the other side, from Serbia, but members of the Interior Miniistry of Serbia arrested him in time, in the village of Resen, near Bosilegrad.
So my questions are as followed. How large was our contact with the KLA? Were 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar trained by the United States? Both men, traveled to Bosnia in the mid 1990's? Bosnia is now the major center of Al Queda, it is now the pipeline of recruits to Afghanistan and Iraq, the King Fahd Mosque, the largest in Bosnia recruits fighters and volunteers- so i guess as Richard Clarke says- we really stopped a jihad there
UN relief supplies intended for the surrounded Muslims at Sarajevo ended up being sold on the black market, making corrupt UN soldiers and Bosnian Muslims marketeers rich.
French commando's rappelled from a US Green Beret helicopter and stormed an Iranian traning facility for Bosnian Muslims located in a three story ski-resort in the middle of the night. The Iranians later admitted they were pklanning attacks on NATO. A US State Department spokesman: ' this is a very serious development we cannot tolerate foreign fighters who are a threat to our soldiers.'
Please put me on it. Thanks.
Don't forget the ignition coil. That'll produce a jolt.
Keep checking www.rferl.org for text.
They have radio news in different languages. Serbian is listed.

Vlad Tepes often had the stakes arranged in various geometric patterns. The most common pattern was a ring of concentric circles in the outskirts of a city that was his target. The height of the spear indicated the rank of the victim. The decaying corpses were often left up for months. It was once reported that an invading Turkish army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses impaled on the banks of the Danube. In 1461 Mohammed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man not noted for his squeamishness, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of twenty thousand impaled Turkish prisoners outside of the city of Tirgoviste. This gruesome sight is remembered in history as "the Forest of the Impaled."
Well, he made his point, I suppose.
This is not an army, exactly, is it?
This will take a different skill set.
You are exactly right!

We Serbian Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on Jan.7th....using the Julian calendar.
Maybe Al Qaeda doesn't know that, or maybe they want this to happen during Christmas for most people in Europe.
The Church might not be so on guard if they aren't having Christmas on Dec 25.
Can you believe that in his book, Richard Clarke, the guy scares me he has no eye brows, anyway he claims he and Clinton stopped a global jihad in Bosnia. Yeah, and i'm Dick Tracy. What the media fails to report is that Bosnia is now the major center of Al Queda, it is now the pipeline of recruits to Afghanistan and Iraq, the King Fahd Mosque, the largest in Bosnia recruits fighters and volunteers- so i guess as Richard Clarke says- we really stopped a jihad there
I can't wait for The Clinton News Network's spin on this story and their "legacy" in Kosovo.
Thankfully, time has a way of exposing the truth.
Moreover, we will never forget.
Clinton should have let the Serbs take care of business in the late 90s. Instead, we aided and abetted the Jihadists in both Kosovo and Bosnia. I think everyone acknowledges now that the whole "ethnic cleansing" charge was blown way out of proportion--instead of thousands of bodies, they have found a few hundred (if that). However, everyone int he PC International Community turns a blind eye to the cleansing of Christians in the Balkans.
the only point i make is that atrocities were commited by all sides, Serb, Muslim, Croat- it's just that the Serb's are most well known in the media for it- another problem i have is that nobody has come forward describing our relationship with the KLA- i mean 2 of the 9-11 hijackers were in Bosnia in the 90's, did we train them? Clinton basically gave Iran a pass.
